I took many pictures (117 pictures of a lamp i had fun) of a Lava lamp and lined up three of them on a new sheet. I like it I would of rather had the lava a different color or many colors. We (my friends and I) used a black back drop and had the lights and flashes off. Well I had fun taking these pictures and i hope you like them.

This picture is pretty amazing, I love the way you arranged the photo's of the lamps nice job. i really lik the last one to the right and the one in the middle
I'm having trouble here... Nice color and great job with the light.
The blobs are abstract but this is still a picture of lava lamps. To me, abstract, by definition, means you can't really know what the subject is.
So.... like I said... I'm having trouble here
I've been using the definition: "Of, relating to, or being a style of art in which natural objects are not represented realistically." With this in mind, it really doesn't fit abstract, IMO.
I get your oobie take ... abstract motion inside the lava lamp. Still DNMC (cuz you didn't use the camera to create the motion), but I'm willing to overlook that. What I can't overlook is the overall green-yellow cast to the image (which could be corrected with a simple white balance adjustment), the dust or spots and soft focus on the leftmost lamp, and the trapped negative space between the three lamps. A tighter focus on a single lamp and some external lighting, or a different setup of the three lamps would have really helped here.
I suppose the entropic value of the 'lava' in these lamps has an abstract element, but a simple recording of this isn't abstract in and of itself. The motion, as well, is not visible here, but only implied, and only if one knows that these things actually moved and aren't statically encased in some kind of plastic or glass. For my money, this simply doesn't adhere to the challenge theme.
not voting on this one as I'm not sure I am understanding the shot, doesn't appear to be any motion... but maybe I'm missing something? I have a g&t next to me, so it's entirely possible :-)
