1.262 times more asigmaticly chaotic than the rest!


Reminds me of a rhyme my primary school teacher used to say long time ago:
"Spring is sprung. The grass is riz. I wonder where the birdie is.
The bird they said is on the wing. Ain't that absurd. From what I heard, the wing is in the bird."

Thanks for the comments. It was a windy day and the hawk was riding the breezes. The redwinged blackbird would attack him periodically. I liked their shapes, especially in relationship to each other in the photo. For me, their shapes created by their motion was the abstraction. I can understand why many don't consider it an abstract work. I am grateful that some do.

A posthumous ribbon! How exciting. Thank You. That's better than a 6.0.

I think that some folks are so locked into thinking that 'abstract' ONLY means blurred or distorted. It also encompasses things like this where the background is essentially non-existent lending an odd sense of displacement or other-worldliness. It pains me when people say things to the effect of IMHO DNMC. As much as their interpretation flavors THEIR submissions, your interpretation flavors YOURS. This photo is so much better than the score.

Great shot, but I fail to see the connection with the challenge topic.

Had to give lower score as the theme was abstract in motion. This isn't abstract.

nice idea, nice opportunity, but doesn't really work for me as far as this challenge goes (that is, i don't really see this as an abstract). also not a fan of all that empty space.
