for something sooooo rusty I kind of would like to see more details, that rust must have been glaking ir had deep cracks and chips, would have liked to be able to see those clearly, the rust here looks too smooth just has colored blotches

Good picture, but not for this challenge. Too representational.

I am sorry but this is a close up of a rusty lock. It is not an abstract.

Definition 1= Art that departs significantly from natural appearances. Forms are modified or changed to varying degrees in order to emphasize certain qualities or content. Recognizable references to original appearances may be slight. The term is also used to describe art that is nonrepresentational.

Definition 2=Not realistic, though the intention is often based on an actual subject, place, or feeling. Pure abstracion can be interpreted as any art in which the depiction of real objects has been entirely discarded and whose aesthetic content is expressed in a formal pattern or structure of shapes, lines and colors. When the representation of real objects is completely absent, such art may be called non-objective.



Nice close up, excellent texture, light ok blacls need tweeking, whites good, color nice, overall not an abstract.

I love the feeling and texture of this. It seems that something has been locked up and the key thrown away.

In comparison to the other aspects of the image, the composition seems weak; the lock is a big rectangular shape right in the middle of the frame. I think a different camera angle would have helped; maybe moving the camera up a few inches and looking down on the lock would have given a more dynamic composition.
