thanks for the comments ...

very well seems not to be too abstract ;)

i had some much bolder shots in mind however was restricted by terrain and shoes. problem 1 : right after the lil waterfall is a rather deep basin. (too deep to stand in ) fortunately i found 2 stepping stones one of them not very stable though. unfortunately the stepping stones had no idea of human anatomy so i could stand on them only in a very uncomfortable way.
to avoid falling into the basin filled with cold water with my cam i took rather fast shots...

on the other hand .. a 2 sec shot while i fall into the basin with the cam would have given the motion the missed abstraction ... i ll consider that for next abstract motion contest.

problem2: never forget a pair of rubber boots when walking in a creek .

The other waterfalls didn't seem very abstract. I think this one fits abstract a little more.

This is not abstract motion in my opinion, but it is a cool shot.

nice, but to make it really abstract you could have gone a little longer with the shutter speed

There's motion, but very little abstract. Some playing with the curves (making it much darker) would have done the trick.

It certainly has motion, but the abstract element is completely disregarded to my eyes.
