Abstract of the back of a park bench

For the Abstract April theme. I'm having trouble figuring out exactly what designates an abstract but I'm going to try.

Great DOF :)

[Kerri]

Great dof

[Pam Knowler]

I like the dof and the little bit of bokeh!! I am having the same problem trying to work out exactly what an abstract is!!

[Hazel]

Love the texture & the little bokeh. My description today reads the same as you. I need to learn what abstract is. Eye of the beholder perhaps?
