While not a true abstract, it is a form done in an abstract manner.
It remains to be seen whether or not it'll be accepted as such.
Post-Challenge:
Not terribly surprised by the score. 5.4+ is nothing to scoff at with a shot like this in a challenge like this. One person asked how it was done.
Here's the original right out of the camera:
It's only been re-sized for the web.
Here's a small color/contrast edit on that:
Basically all I did was use some basic RAW conversions to desaturate it and bring out the texture. I was pleasantly surprised to see that it came out looking like a pencil sketching, so I ran with that. The shot itself was following a toddler in a park with the camera on f/22, with a slightly longer shutter speed to show the movement. Voila.
Easy.
