trouble with abstract

[jwott]

Would you consider this abstract. As I have been reading others are haveing the same difficulty. There are so many ways to see abstract.

I wouldn't necessarily think of this as abstract but it could be...in my mind, this is more repetition than abstract. If you'd move the crop around a bit and get that yellow flower in the top third intersection of the bottom it would be more dynamic. Love the tulips and the contrast of the yellow one really sets this image off. To make it even better would have been to open that aperture up and get all of it in focus.
