Abstract Winning Images

Kerry will be posting the winning images for the Weekly Theme "Abstracts":)

Thanks Denise!

All I can say about this past week is - WOW! What an incredible display of abstract images. I counted 42 entries and I have looked at them many times. Definitely not an easy task to pick the best, as they are all strong and interesting, but here goes! I went with five winning places this time.

First place - Red Hot Pokers by Kora Baker I kept coming back to this image. Excellent use of the black background, colors, and effects. Congratulations Kora!

Second place - Old Man in a Palm Tree by Mark Fuge Great eye for the abstract in nature Mark!

Third place - Fade to White by Jackie Schuknecht Super use of the minimalist concept, which allows the viewer's brain to fill in the image!

Fourth place - Black Skimmer Abstract by Nicki Gwynn Jones Love the brush stroke look and the monochrome textures.

Fifth place - Winter Color by Christopher Miller Very nice look Christopher! The colors and subtle brush stroke textures make for a wonderful abstract.

Thanks to all who participated! There were so many great images...

Please note that there is a little drop-down tab in front of the title box when you post images here. To help us know which ones are being submitted to the contest, please select "Weekly Theme" from that tab. This will identify your image as an entry and make it easier on your judge! ;)
