I love this, but I only voted a 5 at the time because the face made it nonabstract to me. But for "BLUR" this is wonderful.

Nope, but that's probably what most people thought huh? Didn't really consider the other challenge when I did this.

Tell the truth, was this a motion panning shot that didn't work out? ;-)

I don't hate it but it was not sufficiently abstract for me - thought you might have improved it by chopping off her head (no offense to the subject ;-)

There's something about this that just keeps me looking at it. And the more I look at it, the more I love it. It is in fact, wonderfully abstract, but you can't miss the joy and freedom on the model's face and demeanor. It's an abstract shot that makes me happy to look at it. Good luck.

not really abstract

This is not an abstract IMO. It is an long exposure, medium shot.

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.

Comp good, light nice, nice lines, color nice, blacks need work, whites need help, dof ok, Aperature Value needs work, overall just ok pix and not for this challenge

you should have cropped the face out of the frame - it would've been a very nice abstract. otherwise, I don't think it qualifies as such... nice shot, though

I am not sure that this really worked for this challenge, but was a good try. Can't wait to have it prove me wrong.
