 Green basketball with 1/4 s exposure. I like the contrast of the unmoving hoop with the moving net and ball. Might not be abstract (whatever that is) enough.

Convert from raw tweaking WB and exposure.

More motion blur than abstract in my opinion.

I've been using the definition: "Of, relating to, or being a style of art in which natural objects are not represented realistically." With this in mind, it really doesn't fit abstract, IMO.

You could have gotten more out of this. Composition is ok, colors too, there is motion, but it could have been much more abstract.

I like the contrasting colors I would not necessarily call this an abstract photo.

It's got a good motion to it, but the abstract connection is extremely thin. There's just a little too much anchorage in reality here.

Nice capture. Would have been awesome to have a closer crop on the ball and the net only.
