Compact/Abstract Challenge #1 in the Serie A series. Hosted by Andy Westlake. Challenge has finished A tricky one, to get you thinking creatively and nudge you out of the 'need an SLR for anything creative' mindset. We're looking for purely abstract compositions, the less recognizable the subject the better. And compact cameras only - you're not allowed to use an SLR. Turn on that macro mode and start looking around you.
