I think there's no inherent conflict betweem photorealism, as I 
understand it, and surrealism.

Look at paintings from Hieronimus Bosch, for instance - his famous 
depictions of hell were quite close to what I would call photorealistic, 
except that the figures depicted were pretty... weird, to say the least.

My understanding of photorealism is that, for instance, that the rust on 
your buoys looks like real rust, that the jester's cap looks like made 
from real cloth, and that the owl in the mirror looks just like the 
mirror image of a real owl would, except that we just can't see the owl 
directly.

Other than that, I'm perfectly fine with raytraced images being surreal 
- as a matter of fact I think surrealistic images with photorealistic 
details make for a great contrast.


As for abstract, your image just isn't.
