 A chance shot at the National Gallery. The kid was playing with water. Most likely not abstract enough but I like it. His face distortion makes him look scared. Is it art? I just haven't got a clue.

Congratulations, Margaret. As the requirement was abstract with person/people, this fits very well because it didn't say that the person needed to be abstract.
