After a quick look it appears to me that many entries forgot about the abstract part!

With a score of 3,8 I think I should take a break. It might be a case of dnmc though but still, I need to take a break. See ya

It's ABSTRACT blur, so why did so many photographers feel the need to point out what it is with their title? Irked

Reverse it for my score.

It seems like I am going to break my own record of having lowest score ever :)

I get the feeling you have an obsession with this, just a hunch :)

Very happy with my shot, as it shows motion blur and is abstract.

I felt the same way but got a hit that it does not meet challenge though still maintaining my lowest score ever :)

Received a similar hint myself, suggesting my entry was not abstract.

Yup -- at 4.6, two comments saying it's not abstract. I appreciate the comments greatly, because I would have thought it was simply because they didn't like the photo. However, both liked it, they just didn't consider it abstract.

I appreciate this, because my definition of abstract was much more liberal, and I see where they're coming from. And in looking up the definition in a couple of places, the definition seems to fit with their comments.

Abstract, Abstract with motion blur, and blurry photo are 3 different things.

In abstract art, there is no subject to be seen. That makes sense to me in painting. But, with photography, one is taking a photo of something.

But you can make the "something" disappear into an abstract.
