This pic was taken with a gentle twisting motion of the camera. The color effect is achieved with the color swap function of the camera.
This is my first entry to dpchallenge.

Yes. It's very beautiful. Not exactly abstract in literal terms, but certainly it is so in a figurative sense. There's a suggestion of yin-yang, and another of the out-of-body excursion referred to in the title. Acid trip for those of us who remember the 60s (which nobody does). I don't know what it means, but I like how it looks and how it makes me feel when I look at it for a while. 9.
The motion evident in this shot is far too subtle for such a challenge topic. The abstract is stronger, but mainly falls within conceptual lines, rather than visual, which is probably a damper on DPC for a challenge of this type.
