I find nothing to argue with in this statement. That's exactly what I consider the process of abstraction to be. As in: the sense that a stick figure drawn by a child is a pure abstraction of the human form.
Where I'm taking issue here, is with those who would say "if it's recognizable it's not abstract". Nonsense! ESPECIALLY when we're dealing with "abstract motion blur", where if you push "non-recognizable" far enough you end up with nothing but blurry, amorphous images that owe nothing to the SOURCE of the motion. |
... and you see that's where we disagree substantially. Abstract does not need a "source". That's what makes it abstract. If you want to debate this and post STRONGLY one way, then the other viewpoints should be allowed to stand on their merit as well.
Art is opinionated. So be it.
However, if all points aren't allowed, then hide yours as well. |
The posts he hid weren't really discussing this. They were simply jousting. :D |

I'm in the same boat, this will be my worst score to date. I still like the image but I should have payed better attention to the challenge. |

Doing decently, but has dropped a lot from the solid 6+ it held for most of the week. I've decided that abstracts are a hard sell on DPC, even in an abstract specific challenge.

In an odd twist, my score went UP on the final day. It was like Bizarro World. |
