Wait until this one is over... I will show you my photo, and you will agree it probably is the MOST abstract food photo ever :D

I think the outtakes will be very interesting. I have one that you wouldn't believe is food. Somehow my 2 yr old made it my wallpaper (everybody else denies it) when she was playing with the computer. I think I'll leave it there.

Score came back up a tiny bit since earlier.

Talking about kids, my 8 years old son recognized it first try... I thought "if he can recognize this, everyone could"... but then again, he is 8 years old who likes to eat that stuff LOL...

It's fun...

I'm so bummed! I truly thought this was an excellent shot, but I guess it's too abstract - or my definition is not the majority's. Wow...

To the person (and you know who you are) who chose to copy/paste a rather limited/one-sided definition of 'abstract' rather than comment on the photograph at hand..... you're not helping!!

"abstract: Having an intellectual and affective artistic content that depends solely on intrinsic form rather than on narrative content or pictorial representation"

Already getting bombarded by hate mail as a troll...

From the dictionary:

abstract: Having an intellectual and affective artistic content that depends solely on intrinsic form rather than on narrative content or pictorial representation.

That pretty much jives with what I was taught in art class since 3rd grade as well.

Of the minority percentage of actual abstracts in the challenge, there are some damn nice shots tho.

Since your average vote cast is 2.960 - I'm guessing you don't find many that do meet the challenge in your opinion?

me: 625 votes cast and 110 comments = left comments on %17.6

you: 15980 votes cast and 447 comments = left comments on 2.8%

Why don't you get off my back and worry about your own proclivity for leaving feedback. My low score is from people who submit pictures of rocks to not-not-moving-stationery challenges, pictures of pretzel men to abstract challenges, etc, etc, etc. I'm a troll.

my photo isn't exactly abstract as defined by the dictionary or anyone else.

i already have two comments that point out my lack of understanding of the abstract.

i guess my conceptual gene is dominant.

Proclivity = good word! I will make it my mission to use it in a sentence today. :-)

p.s. idnic, the fact that his avg score cast is so insanely low means that his low score for you means nothing. you can safely ignore his comment. :)
