Nice image, but not terribly abstract! :)

I think this would have worked better if there was more in focus, or less. The only sharp parts are right at the edge of the image leading the eye out of frame.

Interesting idea, but i find it a bit uncomfortable to look at.

Not a bad shot, but DNMC in my view - not abstract, doesn't appear to be macro.

It looks like there is a hair on your sensor, winding down the left half of the picture. I suspect it's actually part of what ou were photographing, but it spoils what would otherwise be a decent abstract study on line and shape.

Too much contrast I think - too much detail lost in the shadows, and the sky is blown out to the point of featurelessness. If it was a cloudless day, then blowing the sky out would at least not highlight that any more, but to lose so much shadow detail lets down the picture. Maybe if you'd gone into the curves and adjusted the greypoint to bring out some shadow detail, this could have been improved.

Are the colours intended as displayed? This image looks too red for me.

Seems very flat, nothing really catching interest in the image.

Old faithfuls road to salvation

I'm a fan of negative space and not afraid of having completely black sections in photos, but I think you have a bit too much here. I think cropping some of the right, and letting the chain intrude into the negative space could enhance the image. Also, the focus seems a bit off or soft.

the Road over your shoulder

I have a broad definition of what meets the challenge, but frankly I think this one DNMC. It's a portrait of a woman, which you've taken in such a way that there is a road in the background - but the road does nothing to enhance the photo; in fact, if anything it detracts, and more importantly has forced you into positioning such that the lighting on the woman is unflattering. Trying to shoehorn this into the Road challenge has let down both yourself and the model.
