Here is an excellent example of a Pensive Abstraction:

&lt;a&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1118/1342341871_b443e07b3a_d.jpg&quot; width=&quot;500&quot; height=&quot;375&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

Get yours at bighugelabs.com/flickr&quot; title=&quot;Pensive Abstractions. Get yours at bighugelabs.com/flickr&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

Post anything that lets us observe the world in different ways.

First and foremost, abstraction.
architecture
nature
sublime
landscape
simplicity
detail
minimalism
geometry
pattern
mosaic
quiet
noise

NO obvious people
NO obvious animals
NO obvious bugs
NO politics whatsoever

NO heavily / obviously manipulated creations. I know that photoshop can be a great creative tool but this group's focus is on observing and capturing the real world in abstracted ways. Thanks for understanding.

This is a new group so we are still open to interpretation, however the administrator reserves the right to delete any pictures that are not within the group topic.

Feel free to invite others with this code:

&lt;p&gt;eyespycottcase - thanks for the note. As for your comment about no people, the rules are no OBVIOUS people. When I chose your photo I had no idea there was a person in it, which makes it all the better. The rule is enforced in order to make people think more about composition and color as opposed to content. Having an obvious person in a photograph usually has immediate implications - a story, politics, etc. I wanted to avoid those sorts of things and focus on pure abstractness.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
