[photographiti]

crazy. i can't wait to see what everyone comes up with!

 

[minew_m]

hmmm....I'll have to think about this one. This one seems pretty tough!

 

[Aoide]

For some reason this seems easy to me. Not the photography part.... the idea part. Lots of ideas flying around already. I know the photography part will be killer.

 

[thebeginning]

that's the problem...to many ideas :shock:

 

[Nikon Fan]

Yes I agree this should be interesting...I think it will be mostly interesting to see how people choose to define abstract...will the shots lean more towards non objective, or more towards realism...this could be interesting depend on others viewpoints of what abstract really is....

hmmmm very interesting! will the "abstract" part be more of a photoshopping skill rather than a phototaking skill?

 

[Bedside_Priest]

Are we allowed to edit it in photoshop? Like...alot?

 

[Andrea K]

i hope the photo i submitted is abstract as im not positive what qualifies as abstract

 

[mentos_007]

ey! I think we shoud post original photos or slightly modified (levels and so on). it is not a photoshop challenge but photography!

 

[Chase]

Bottom line is do whatever you feel you need to. Just keep in mind that if people feel too much was done in photoshop, they may be less likely to vote for it.

oh and that was a smart answer thanks Chase
