I don't expect this to do well because it isn't fully abstract but it was the only photo I took that had an abstract feeling to it that I liked enough to submit to the challenge. Hope to at least break 5 and that some of you like it as much as me.

This is not an abstract IMO. It is a wide shot, a candid at best.
Definition 1= Art that departs significantly from natural appearances. Forms are modified or changed to varying degrees in order to emphasize certain qualities or content. Recognizable references to original appearances may be slight. The term is also used to describe art that is nonrepresentational.
Definition 2=Not realistic, though the intention is often based on an actual subject, place, or feeling. Pure abstracion can be interpreted as any art in which the depiction of real objects has been entirely discarded and whose aesthetic content is expressed in a formal pattern or structure of shapes, lines and colors. When the representation of real objects is completely absent, such art may be called non-objective.
Nice comp, good texture, great flow, blacks need work, whites barely in, good light, overall a nice pix but not for this challenge
