Greetings from the Critique Club!

Challenge: Black and white? Yep! Abstract? Yes. I recognized the railings as such but it took me a bit to figure out the boxes. I guess the holidays are well and truly over in my mind. Voting landed you about middle of the pack ... probably as the railings and boxes are a little too recognizable for a true abstract.

Image: I love how the railings are not square in the composition. The extra angles add interest and increase the abstract nature. The support beams, along with the dangling boxes help to add depth and draw the eye. My favorite piece is that there is nothing at the end of the line. Just a rectangular abyss (as you aptly named it) that allows the viewer to imagine what might be found in its depths. Details and contrasts are very nice. The depth you captured, as the railings fade away into darkness, is terrific.

In terms of constructive feedback ... You have a bit of a blow out (hot spot) on the left of the image. This may have messed with your ability to get a bit more white in the mix. The intensity of that area tends to capture attention though so something to watch out for in the future. All in all ... very creative!

Excellent presentation. I might have downplayed the railing across the lower row. That brought the concrete out a bit too much for me. 6
