I guess this just wasn't what voters call abstract, although I think it's a hell of a lot more abstract than some of the shots that scored higher. Never mind...
...At the end it was kind of fun see how low my score could go. The scrubber took off 22 votes and took the score from 3.8483 up to 3.9873. In some ways I feel cheated that this isn't my lowest score ever and it didn't get the brown...maybe next time ;)

I felt like the motion blur was not bold enough to be intentional so I only gave this image a 4. I would have gone higher if the image had been sharper or and more panning blur. I did think this image was more abstract than many other entries. Just my two cents.
pffft... Cat haters of the world unite! ;) If it makes you feel any better, I gave you 5 points for making me hurl. That's not easy to do. Full credit to ya.
The sharp bright curves in the lower left contrast with the furry blur elsewhere. A different title might have left more room for the viewer's imagination to work (folded angle wing, passing show girl in costume?) instead of landing on the concept of "cat" right away.
I gave you a really low score for this photo, sorry. This is because the image looks blurry and messy, but not in a visually pleasing way. I can see how you have achieved abstract using this method, but I don't like the result, sorry!
