 I fully expect this to squick people...to hell with it. I took it on purpose (not for dpc).

How I did it:

Red material draped over subject (who is kneeling and wearing a collar and handcuffs).
Lit from behind the subject.
Selected the metal portions of the photo.
Inverted selection and applied a 40ish gausian blur.

Soft focus and abstract concept will not give you high numbers with DPC voters. Interesting idea, but you will need to keep trying.

I took some time to absorb this image. I like it but unsure how it fits the challenge.

The choice is yours. "Turn or burn", as they say. But maybe I misunderstand...

Visually odd. The technique is somehow distracting - whatever that is at or around your neck appears pasted in. I'm not saying I think you did something illegal, I'm saying that whatever you did to process this image created the same effect as a bad paste, and that mars the overall image for me.

I'm sure I should be able to, but I can't work out what is going on here

my brain cannot identify what the more in focus piece of this photo is. i'm actually anxious to find out what this is.
