I love the freshly fallen snow. perhaps a bit more abstract in Post Processing could have improved it.

I would not consider snow on a few twis an abstract. The framing of the image could be better. Good DOF control and exposure control overal.

5 - Like this. Wish it were bigger (640 width in this case), but might be quality issues, so perhaps a selective softening of the background - not sure as that might alter/diminish the 'abstractness'.

I am sorry, but this is not an abstract, it is a close up.

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 lines, nice dof, texture ok, nice flow, b&w need help, color flat, overall a nice pix but not in this challenge

beautiful, even though I know what it is there isn't enough there to complete the picture.
