Taken in my kitchen, this is a shot of my butchers block. It's the handle on one side. I was brain storming and just started taking looks at this from different angles. I thought it was a good contrast and abstract between the wood and metal. I hope you all like it.

May not be "abstract" enough, but I like the warm tones and difference in textures.

This is close, but this is not an abstract IMO. Cropping the top would of helped out alot in this pix.

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 lines, good light, blacks need tweeking, whites good, color good, nice comp, good texture, a little soft, overall an interesting attempt but not for this challenge
