I have decided that abstract landscapes are images without context or with minimum context, I could be wrong. Given the amount of time that I spend around water most of the images have water in them. Ken
Local woods
A local waterfall or a colour chart for highlights
Frozen water
Autumn reflections
Stormy sea
Sea swell
Reflections on a Welsh stream

Ken, good choices for the task—I especially favor the “frozen water” and “sea swell” images.

Alan, nice variety of abstracts––the drone image of Coal Point is especially nice. The Latourell Falls image is my favorite.

Doug, beautiful abstracts you’ve shared—I especially like the last image, but the Palouse Hills (drone?) is a very close second!

Craig, very interesting image to me too—I like the gradual receding color which gives an abstract look to this “flat” landscape.

I don't really think in abstracts. I try them sometimes, but generally don't end up liking them as much as what many of you produce (and have shared in this thread). In part, I'm not sure what the difference is between an "abstract" and an image of "details". So here are some details...
1) This was the first image I thought of for this challenge - details in the ice at Abraham Lake
2) Plenty of opportunities for details in Antelope Canyon
3) And swirls at the wave

Those are great shots! Sand always makes for some amazing abstract opportunities.
Here are my abstract landscapes:
Kelso Sand Dunes, California
Joshua Tree National Park - California
Temple of the Sun - Utah
