explanation
abstract search
what is an abstract search?
You don't know which specific image you're after, but you do know what kind of image you're looking for. It's sort of...dark, and with metal in it, and has a shiny surface. Oh, and another one of something plant-like, very bright with lots of contrast. The abstract search engine lets you define the qualities of the image(s) you want and then selects them based on your criteria.

how does it work?
Below you'll see some details you can fill in which will be used in your search. Some of them have to do with what the image's actually about, some with the image's texture, and some with the shape displayed in the image. Select how these qualities should appear in the image(s) you're looking for, or just leave them as they are if you don't want to include these qualities in your search.
You must at least define two search criteria.
