Beautiful, soft motion of the water. This is a very nice shot, but it isn't abstract.

gorgeous shot, wish you'd been given advanced editing for this, the colours of that sky could really pop

Lots of motion, not a lot of abstract in my view.

Lots of motion and a very nice picture, but nothing about it hits me as abstract.

I really like the movement you have in the water, and while the challenge description mentioned a moving subject, I dont feel that this is abstract. I do like the photo overall though.

I've been using the definition: "Of, relating to, or being a style of art in which natural objects are not represented realistically." I know that the water doesn't really look like that, but so many photographs do water this way that this seems much more realistic than abstract to me.

The water's motion adds a soothing effect to this shot. Well captured.

A crop of the right hand lower quarter would have been really abstract, the static horizon removes a lot of the feeling of movement.

There's motion, but it lacks abstract.
Abstract is: art in which the subject is represented by shapes and patterns rather than by a realistic likeness

Stunning landscape. But for me, it's not quite 'abstract' enough to get the full votes it deserves. Others may see it differently.

Very cool. Somewhat reminiscent of a Dutch photographer's work I handle named Karel van Wolferan. Check out our current show and I think you'll see what I mean: www.yuanfenart.com
