 Plastic knife in front of an LCD monitor, with a polarizer on the lens.

Many outtakes on this one. Had fun trying this out, not what I would usually do for a challenge such as this.

I like the motion. This reminds me of playing with bubbles.

A nice attempt, but the overall feel is flat and dark. There also seems to be no real compositional value to this. Getting the light play to be brighter and the colors to stand out more would be a benefit, and try to remember composition as well. Give the viewer something more to think about than just a seemingly random swath through your frame.

The title, as well, is redundant and unnecessary as identifying what your abstract is is kind of defeating your purpose.

I really do like the picture, but the colors seem very muddy and drab. I know that not all abstracts need bright colors, but I feel this one would be much stronger with them.

Nice shot, but I don't think croping the top off help it if thats what happened, or maybe reshoot it trying to get it in the whole frame.

I like the softness of the colors and it's an interesting effect. Well done.

Very nice abstract motion. Not quite sure about the cropping, think I would have liked to see a bit more on top and less on the bottom. Nice take though.
