This was a very difficult challenge for me to attempt. My photography style is very simple, straightforward, and "makes sense"... abstract is nothing i have ever cared to try.
This is a flower with trees in the background, shot in RAW and quite blown out SOOC and then i just tweaked the contrast, exposure, and colours during editing.

Nice bokeh, but the flower is a little out of focus.
I don't think I will be voting, because of "If it is recognizable as an object - it is not an abstract" which I don't entirely agree with...
Too much blown out for me. I'm searching for somewhere to put my eyes and I can't find it. Sadly, if the yellow were gray or darker I'd probably love it. There's just no place of refuge for my eyes, and they apparently need it.
