 This was crazy but fun to shoot. I essentially used zoom burst while twisting the camera. The subject? A bunch of fall leaves.

- rotated image
- photo effect --> time machine --> cross-processing

Resize and export to JPG.

Not a bad score for an abstract. This was over 6.15 for a while. Just prior to role over I was at 5.9306 with 144 votes. Looks like 7 nasty troll votes were dropped. Bad trolls! Bad!

I like the attempt. However, I don't feel the movement you imply with the title.

Very abstract and has emotion. Admittedly, not a favorite of mine but I think it fits the challenge very well: 8

Makes me think of golden flowers in summer fields, definitely joyous. I really like this, the few patches of green and red bring it all together. Well worth an 8.

I gave you an 8, this is what I would consider an abstract, love the colours and your chosen emotion fits perfectly imo. Hope you do well.
