There are so many amazing entries, such tough competition! I'm gonna do my best to comment on everyone's entries this time too. I can already see some I'm going to fave as well. Hope my average improves through the week. Good luck everyone!

This challenge is LOADED with superb entries! If I was hard-core competitive, I would regret having entered this one (but I don't). As it is, though, I am just glad to be in Mighty Company :-)

I dont regret it a bit. It feels great to be in same pool as some of the greatest B/W pictures ever.

You aren't allowed to link to photos during the voting stage.

Just a heads up.

Your profile portfolio has some amazing pictures. If your submission is of that quality, your score should become better. Good luck!

For me, the score poofed in the second hour.. somebody with a '1':-)

Holy smokes! I participated with an entry, for which I had just 30min time to think, shoot and edit. And at least for now it seems that I'm getting better results than ever. :) Maybe I should do this more often... Though it's not nearly as good as I hoped, what comes to technical merits, but seems that the composition is working better than before.

For those that have entered, I am voting and commenting now. I am seeing many images that in my mind are not abstract. Normally I would start at 5 for meeting the challenge (adding/subtracting from there), but for me these aren't abstract. Thoughts on lower scores because I personally feel the challenge was not met. I will of course make the appropriate comment when scoring lower.

I just don't want to be slamming people if I am off base. You have seen the others, do you agree? (Generally of course until voting is over)

Interesting thoughts.

What is 'abstract'? can you define it? The same picture may be abstract with different weights if you ask different users, dont you think? Or can we really remove the subjective bias when judging abstract art or photography?

I found this definition from Webster's online dictionary:

"Abstract: having only intrinsic form with little or no attempt at pictorial representation or narrative content ."

I would agree with the definition, I guess I am opposed to just taking a close-up of anything and calling it abstract. That and I may be tired and grouchy.

Also, voting further I see many more that are right on, must have just been the batch I was looking at first. Maybe the others will hit me better on round 2 of viewing.

I have to say I'm rather surprised at the score..... This is my shot for the average side challenge too LOL so it's goodbye from me, and it's goodbye from him.
