Here's an abstract I did some time ago.  I personally prefer abstracts since
they
always attract attention.  Its a shame that work like Capriccio would be
mistaken
for a photograph by many.  Even a simple abstract like this gets lots of
attention.
I have it as a 12x8 inch print on my living room wall.  I always try to
create a
simple story before doing an abstract since this keeps things connected and
relevant.  It doesn't matter that the story is silly or impossible.

(OK, so these are creatures that have 3 sexes mating in a pool of liquid
methane
on Neptune.  The little green spheres have popped into existence from spores
fed by the waves and the light in this energy poor environment.  The ring is
an
egg that has just been created.  The little green spheres popped off again
shortly
after this image was taken.)

So, what do the experts think!

BTW it seems a little oversaturated on my monitor but it was adjusted to get
the
best image on the basis of previous prints.

Regards,
Andy

Reading the story, it seems like you should have mentioned "(nudity)" in 
the title of your post.  :-))

I like both abstract and realistic scenes, they both have their 
artistical point of view. And I think that like in painting, doing 
realistic (classic I might say) scenes is the best training toward a 
really free expression that is required to do real artistic and 
potentially abstract work (Picasso is a good example).

Still your image is cool, and I might try your 'having a story in mind' 
tip sometimes,

JC

That looks really nice! It's a very peaceful and relaxing scene. Could you post
the source for it? I'd like to render it hi-res for my backdrop :)

I know what you mean about realistic scenes, I think this is why nearly all my
stuff is surreal; so I can try out all the detail work you need for a realistic
scene without the final result just looking like a photo (well okay, I'm
probably not *that* good yet!).

Thanks! the source is now available on PTS-F.

This was my first go at scattering media, completely random but it seems to
work!
