Abstract Emotion
Abstract adj. 1 Abstract ideas may lead to concrete plans:
The Title: Profound is a synonym of Abstract. (Readers Digest, Word Finder.)
The Photo, a portrait was not processed to be like a normal photo and to create and Abstract look to it by Gaussian blur and still be able to see the color skin tones and lines, the abstract colors, (Eyes & Mouth)as well as the full frame crop is essential for abstract if you read the professional photographers when researching.
Emotion: I believed there were a number of emotions that could have been seen in the photo, Sadness, Stern, Intense, Strong, and Love etc. I was leaving this up to the viewer.
This went way past the viewer’s imagination in this art form doing a portrait, as this is where I am coming from for this challenge, ok I may not have pulled it off as for DPC, for me this is a very ABSTRACT portrait.
You will see that professionals do not always photograph the human form to not be identified, leaving it as a visual form to be seen.

Oh Brian! DARN! The Brown ribbon! I've been saying all along as I peruse the results of this challenge that the voters were freaking BRUTAL in this challenge! They were BRUTAL!
But if you are yaba-daba-doo'ing. . .well, then, I guess a macabre sort of Congratulations are in order :)

| Not sure if this is interesting, or just weird looking, but it made me stop and examine it for a few moments, so it deserves a good vote for making me stop. I think this one is teetering on the fine line between photography and digital art. |

| This is so bizarre I want to give it a 10 - but, I can't. It reminds me of 'Peggy' on the TV show: 'King of the Hill'. |

| Hmmm... This doesn't seem abstract at all to me... and it does seem a bit overprocessed for a 'regular' photo. *sigh* sorry. |

| Was this meant for the portrait challenge, because I'm not really getting abstract out of this. And it's a bit over processed. |

| Not really abstract in my opinion. And I'm not really feeling any particular emotion. |
