As a portrait I would say that the subject is well posed and the background is nicely faded out, but that it is a little too flat because of the flash. But, it's kind of a stretch for abstract.
Unfortunatley, this doesn't really scream "abstract" to me, or at least, within the specific parameters defined by the challenge description. There is certainly the material there for suitable manipulation, such as focusing exclusively on the ear-piercing and some slight mucking around with photoshop / paintshoppro. The lighting is also a little harsh and the background seems a little fake (given the halo effect around the hair). That aside, technically i felt it to be a good shot, it's just i feel it would be better suited to an alternative challenge (hopefully not the rusty run if your model stands in the rain too long ;))
My, what an attractive assortment of 'aftermarket' improvements! Is this person an abstract thinker, or why would you post this in THIS challenge? I bet his
To me, this is more of a portrait than an abstract. It's a very nice portrait too. Great focus, lighting and angle. Shows great detail in this guys face. While I think it's a good image, I'm gonna have to say it's a horrible 'abstract' which is what we're looking for in this challenge. ~Heather~
