Abstract is really subjective, but in my thinking I see abstract photography to show the viewer a subject in ways they don't normally see them, without getting PhotoShoppy about it. It's easy to create the abstract through PhotoShop. Much more difficult to do it live, right out of the camera.

Like with the MOBO there. Now if you super-macro it, then it becomes abstract. Your shot is just a close-up with an angle to it. Not meaning to be hyper-critical as they're actually pretty good MOBO shots, and you're not all that far from being abstract.

In simple terms, when viewing an abstract photo, the viewer should say to themselves: "What the frell is that?!?" The photo should make them sit back and think. Ponder. Wonder. Be amazed. Makes you wanna go hmmmm....?
