Thanks to Kavey for seeing what I was looking to convey and articulating my view of abstract art so well.

I appreciate that others were looking for focus or definition in the image, however it was a concious decision not to provide it.

As many artists do when painting an abstract, I wanted to move away from the aspects where the camera is king (definition and accurate representation) The intent was to create a non-specific image that could take people down a number of different trains of thought.

I am happy to see that I succeeded - even if only for a limited audience.

I wish this was a bit more in focus, but I like the smooth vibes.

Nice tones, like the red, but it doesn't really grab me.

Wow! First impression as soon as I opened it! This definitely works. There's little enough detail that I can't be sure what it is but enough that I can imagine a number of possibilities all of which take me down different paths of thought. I like the sense of movement. I really like that you haven't ignored composition even though it's an abstract - I think composition is even more important in an abstract because much of it's impact is aesthetic. It often doesn't have a direct message but is just a starting point for the brain to kind of not focus on... In terms of what it conveys to me - some moments I see romance and love, other moments I see faded or lost love and others still I see blood and passion.
