Nice capture. I love the blurred lines.

This image, besides not being abstract, feels very cluttered and unbalanced to me. I think it would have been better not to include the front left corner of the cutting board because to me it really emphasizes the discrepancy in focus and attention to placement across the image. To me, it does not make sense to have the napkin falling off of the right side of the image when there is so much empty space on the left side of the cutting board. I think if you were going to include a napkin, perhaps another color would have worked better than the bright white. I do like your onion. I wish it were more of a star in this shot. The skin and the lines on the half in the back are lovely and could have made a wonderful abstract, in my opinion.

The extremely low horizon is pretty cool here, but I definitely don't see an abstract image in this very clear landscape.

I have a hard time seeing this image as abstract, although it is interesting to capture emotion on an animal.

I think I would like the heart to be slightly less vibrant so that my attention went more to the lips.

Close encounter

I don't like the very strong reflection in the eye, and the cropping doesn't do anything for me. I think it would have been more interesting if the eye were less centered, not cropped, cropped more, or left out completely. I think the movement and texture in the feathering would make a stronger abstract image by itself and could still communicate an emotional quality. I don't think the eye, as it is here, adds anything. It is a very cool subject, though, and the lines are very striking.

Zen Pond-My piece of Harmony

I think this is a really neat effect, but I think it's a little too crowded to be communicating "harmony."

Phobia knows not why it fears, only that it must

I don't like the black space in the top right corner. It doesn't seem to fit with the rest of the image.

ABC Gum Wall

I know it's a wall, but this photo would make more sense to me if it were rotated 270 degrees clockwise. The coin in the middle is great.

I like the combination of the blurred motion and the dappled light. I think it creates an interesting mood in the image.
