URK! This was a really tough challenge for me! During the past week I took many shots for this challenge, but was not satisfied with the results at all. The problem is this. Most of the subjects were too "flat" for my taste. Not colorful enough or lacking contrasts when taken straight out of the camera (SOOC).

I especially wanted to try in camera movement (ICM) to learn more of this pretty cool technique to create abstracts and how to do it with my camera phone. Then finally this very morning, after seeing what others had already posted, I thought I have to reconsider the whole process again.

Then it hit me! Somewhat all previous shots I had taken with phone camera were too messy because I had chosen too long exposure! So, I tried to set it shorter, and there it is. Maybe not abstract enough and maybe not very special, but finally there is enough contrasts and green color as I wanted to catch it.
