Hello from the Critique Club-
Photos of Iceland are almost always beautiful, and this is no exception. I really like the piece of water you chose to photograph. It is one that is not quite as instantaneously identifiable as a body of water. I especially like the way the blue in the top left merges into the turbulent area of the water. The movement of the water gives a very soothing and dreamy feel to this image. In regard to the challenge, as many others noted, some aspects of this make it less abstract. I agree that the branches, and also the snowbank, detract from the âabstractnessâ of things, and also that they are somewhat distracting in the image. I would have preferred the scene without either of these elements. If getting rid of these elements and keeping this portion of the river in the composition wasnât an option, I would have considered using some camera movement in addition to the movement of the water. Doing so would decrease how starkly the branches and snowbank contrast with the fluidity of the water.

| Oh I wish the branches wouldn't have looked so realistic like branches, they take down the beautiful upperhalf blue abstract motion. |

| Not a very strong abstract feeling to this scene in my eyes. It's a little too common a scene. |

| Beautiful colours in this shot, and a really nice long shutter to smooth out the water. Doesnt scream out abstract to me, but still a nice shot. |

| This is absolutely beautiful. I can't quite figure out what I'm looking at, which makes it abstract enough for me! |

| Great shot. The tones was a bit pushed to blue, obvious intent. But is nice and graceful. |

| Some may argue the abstract issue with this one but I think you have done a great job and love the effect of the water. |

| Although I know this is a waterfalls it still has an abstract look about it. The entire photo is not abstract but the flowing water is. It's a little too blue, though, especially the snow. |
