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.
ok, not abstract enough for me. kinda creepy with her nose gone...hey it looks like you photoshopped the whole face together or really sharpened it or something....
