hehehe... you were either taking the piss or drinking it. Had I voted in this challenge, oof or not, you would have got 7 from me. I love funny. Funny is good.
This is just too sick for words. You're going to do well here, probably not win alot of ribbons- nothing about your photography, just the way things are with "out of the box" ideas. But people will certainly talk about you, just ask the cheeseman.
Keep shooting. I have got to show this one to my assistant.
You posted in the forums asking for comments to help you improve, so here goes...
As most commenters noted, the shot is out of focus, which is it's biggest downfall. You did attempt to give it a background of some sort, which is a good start, but the poor lighting also didn't help your cause. Perhaps finding a white balance setting on the camera would help to get rid of the yellowish cast to the picture. And in reading your comments, you said that you did this last minute just to get it in. Usually, I'd say that is one of the things that dooms a photo in the challenges. Not giving yourself enough time to properly set up, shoot and process a shot and putting it in a contest with hundreds of other photos which people have taken the time to work through is setting it up for failure in most cases. Better to just sit out a challenge than to enter something that you're not happy with or proud of.
Hope something in this comment was helpful to you... and good luck in future challenges!
... hu hu ... OK ... I'm gonna be critical so just take it as if I'm trying to help because i am ! :] He might not be seen due to the following constructive reasons: He is out of focus. He is not quite centered but even if he is, the angle and POV and background are not overly interesting or clean. He is raw lumps of meat or something which is very hard to make look appealing. He is not really abstract IMO. The white balance appears to be a little off. Having said that, it actually made me hungry for some reason. I'm going to eat. Keep shooting!
humourous subject choice. The lighting used does little to enhance the photo, perhaps more of a side light might have added more interesting shadows. The background colour may have been better had it been more opposite rather than so similar in tones to your subject.
abstract: Having an intellectual and affective artistic content that depends solely on intrinsic form rather than on narrative content or pictorial representation
