 My bengal, Nikita in hunting mode.

I liked the blur in this one the best of the whole bunch of photos I took, however the sun happened to break through just when I took the photo so it ended up quite overexposed. I decided to just go with it and see if I could use it anyway.

Editing: Curves, levels, unsharp mask, crop, add a border, neat image

I like it but I'll probably be hammered in the voting. My photographic interests an the mainstream DPC look have been diverging quite a bit lately.

Yes, I love the windy motion effect but how can it be called abstract?

Great motion blur effect, but not abstract at all in my opinion.

This is actually quite a cool shot! I'm afraid that some won't find it abstract enough. I think it's fine!

It's a beautiful photo, but I would have liked it to be more abstract.

Definition of Abstract: art in which the subject is represented by shapes and patterns rather than by a realistic likeness.

Nice motion but no "abstract"...

A little too subtle on the abstract aspect, but outside of that I like this. It stands on its own very well as a photograph, but in this challenge, just doesn't have the strength to stand out.

Good motion capture. Love the effect on the front paws.

Great photo, strong motion and a great sense of him getting ready to pounce, and the blur at the bottom almost seems like a mouse ... more blur then abstract, however, so that brings this down a bit for this challenge.

Simple theme, very expressive and mod! Great ideia.
