This image perfectly demonstrates what we look for in an abstract image. To begin with it is confounding, and makes us study it more carefully, then the elements come together and we can start to put the image into context. The muted colour palette allows us to focus on the texture and intriguing patterns, while the composition perfectly showcases the organic structure of Gaudi's architectural style. Well done!

This is a highly eye-catching shot! The deep red and bright spot in the centre of the frame immediately draws us in while the sinuous lines and curves are visually appealing. The shot combines all of the aspects we look for in abstract imagery - hard and soft textures, lines and curves and light and shadow. These combine to create a frame which demands multiple views. Congratulations.
There are some lovely colour contrasts in this shot, which combined with the curved road and compartmentalized frame all work together to produce a relaxing and delicate image. It's a simple shot, but is well thought through, appearing structured and executed with technical excellence. A worthy addition to our top 10 for this round.
