Greetings from the Critique Club!
OH NO! :) Just kidding!
I found this after the challenge was over and I really liked the idea. And I think I understand where you were going with the post processing, if I'm wrong, shot me ;)
First of all it does feel abstract to me which means a lot because I don't normally understand or get abstract pictures but this feels like it has a pattern yet you have to really study it to find it. And I personally like the muted colors, gives more the feel of some of the great abstract artists and pictures I've seen (don't ask me to name names, I was told there were abstract) and makes it feel and look a bit older than it really is.
But as you well know the DPC Voter doesn't always understand art or what we are trying to convey with our picture and you paid for that with this shot. If you and brightened the colored just a touch, brought up the contrast and sharpened it just a bit more this probably would have easily been over a 6.
I hope my comments help and Good Luck in future Challenges!

| interesting pattern - almost looks like a brain. The middle is a bit brignt compared to the rest. Maybe a bit increase in USM would be better |

| Back to comment - I like this shot (and wish I had thought of cabbage myself). I think I would have liked to have seen better color though. A littl ebrighter overall, whiter whites and a more saturated purple to make it just stand out strong. Great idea though - I hope it does well for you. |

| i think the vegtable should have been more parrellel / you have lost focus & tried to sharpen to compensate .. nice abstract - i like the spiral aspect |

Abstract as I perceive abstract? Yes
Do I like it? It's a bit too centered for my taste, I think.
Technicals? A bit weak - I'd expect the focus to be very sharp for a flat cut like this, and the contrast is a bit flat to me. |

| Good job meeting challenge. Colors don't pop as much as they could, though, maybe adjust the white balance for a wider tonal range? |

| I'm giving this an 8. If the focus were a little bit shaprer, the lighting a bit brighter and the colours saturated a bit more it would be a 10. |

| the shot is good, but there's a colour cast (yellowish) that detracts from the rich purple colour of the cabbage |
