So much creativity demonstrated by the participants! I had a wonderful time going through all the submissions and marveling at the photos. The finalists picked were based on my subjective judgement although I did rely on the following defintion about the difference between “abstract” art and “nonobjective” art:
‘While both styles rely on the elements of art (shape, value, line, color, contrast, texture, form within a space), abstract art usually has a basis in reality, as in something being “abstracted.”’
The following images are in the order in which they entered. Please vote by placing the number of the image for which you are voting in a comment box. Voting will close at midnight in your time zone on Friday, 17 August. I will announce the winner the next day and they can then take on the mantle of continuing this competition.
Thank you to everyone who participated and congratulations to the finalists!
I vote for # 4.
And thanks for including mine
