Marvelous use of symmetry that enhances the color combinations. The light even provides a leading line to draw the eye through the image, which also might be its only flaw. That's one of the abstract image challenges is to decide if an image stands on color, a shape or on other classic visual elements singularly or in combination.
There's a shape in the lower right corner that I like and not knowing what it is adds to the completion of the abstraction.
Have you thought about how you might frame or present this photograph?
This may be harsh, but it looks very much like the result of loading film in a camera and blasting a frame or two while getting to the first frame. Aim the camera at the ground and it's bound to turn out. Good?
Intriguing and unique image. The light and the texture it illuminates draws the viewer's attention. I want to pull aside the material and see what's behind it.-Pam :idea: "There is more to life than increasing its speed. -- Mahatma Gandhi"
I like it a lot. And the controversy and disagreement here is only a sign of successful creativity, I believe. I find that the subtle texture and almost centered composition pull me in and entertain me quite well. I go back and forth between the two halves, looking for the meaning, the story, the reason.
Does a photograph have to be a literal rendering of arecognizable object? Does a painting? Does a sculpture? Do poems have to rhyme?
