This is a wonderful photograph!
I really enjoy how you kept the contrast to a minimum because you made this image so peaceful through the exposure, however I wish I saw the slightest bit more value to get just a little more detail in the shell.
Fabulous, good job!! :)

On the edge if this fits in as an abstract but that aside, I really like the shot. The overexposed look adds this softness. A very pretty way to capture this shell. Contrast looks perfect.(no vote)

Beautiful. I just couldnt relate the title to the image itself. I am rating it pretty high.

Maybe a tighter crop to better portray "abstract"? I like the whole 'whiteness' of it.

wouldve liked to see more contrast here as the image seems washed out, 6

Good attempt at high key though I think more DOF and a little more light is required so the shell doesn't disappear on the right.
