I know this is going to get creamed, but I like it, so nyah.
Yes, it's a gravy boat.
Yes, it's abstract.
Yes, I know you don't like the title.
I still like you.
Maybe I'll be surprised. Should make for an interesting week.
Post Challenge.....
Well, here's to the brown.
This is what the (all white) gravy boat actually looks like. The blue is from a gelled strobe. I loved the way the color looked painted on.
Also, the title comes from the Blind Melon song "2x4"
"Needle, fetal
Someone's pouring warm gravy all over me
And you see that synthetic therapy
Don't you know it seems to be so unappealing
But, oh what a feeling"
It's something about the high Shannon got from shooting up, whereas my high comes from shooting images that I end up loving...like this one.

Having mistaken the lip of the pouring spout as a stream of gravy, the title befuddled rather than clarified my interpretation of the image. I see it now, and can only admire the way your thinking out of the boat.
I thought for sure this was a Posthumous entry. Suits his usual approach to things. I gave it a 9, but I'm one of the folks that likes abstracts, and I also appreciated the out of the box thinking on this.
Your original quote was just the sort of thing I was hoping for and was a nice way to start the week, so thank you.
I understood your idea immediately, it was a nice concept. I just think, maybe not for this challenge, if it wasn't for the title I would have completely lost, so good thinking there. Not a bad photo at all-try for an abstract challenge. I like that you went for something original though.

I don't think I see or get it... I'd like to know about it when it's done. Won't vote yet until I've had another gander at it later.
Later: Ah. Gravy boat. Of course. (was tired last night when I commented I guess so didn't 'get it') I like the idea. Definitely different.
It's an interesting photo. To be honest I can't see much that's going to make me vote highly in it. But don't take that as meaning I'm not voting high because it's different. I just don't think the different is done well... sorry.
Ohhhh, it took me a while to connect "gravy" with "boat". Creative idea, but the photo looks more like...well, I'm not sure what it looks like. Here's hoping to more people connecting with your idea!
I have no freaking idea what I am looking at. It's a cool abstract, though it may or may not be a boat. Ok, duh, it's a gravy boat! Now I'm arguing with my wife over whether this meets the challenge in a creative OOTB way. Let's look at the challenge description:
"Big boats, little boats, toy boats, dinghies, sailboats, rowboats, ocean liners, speed boats, cargo ships, cruise ships, etc... take a picture and try to float the voters boat!"
