visions of perth

Am wandering of the interest of this image in this medium (Lyrical abstraction). Hans Hartung had done with panache in the early 20th century this gestural abstract style and this is too much "in the manner of". I would prefer a drawing or painting to this photo. Therefore I do not mark it because in a photograph I expect a different feeling.

This is so dark, at least on my screen, that I cannot see really anything. So I do not mark it.

A true Rorschach. Just a touch too murky, maybe for my eyes.

the pier, X

Masterly composition. The hand clasping the x intersection is one of the great "accidents" unless you carefully planned it, which would not surprise me in your case.
As a side q, how do you make the link to the other Balboashots? Sorry for the ignorant question.

Carwash Blues

It has a great feeling of happiness; all is well in a nice world.
Could be a French painting from the late 20th century.
Until I find " le mot juste", I place it with my favorites.

Spectacular shot.

I Walk the Line

Nice illustration. A bit too far from photography per se.
You put me often in this dilemma of evaluationg an image that it so well done, imaginative , etc in a context in which it does not belong exactly.
I catch myself often using a picture as base for digital art and refrain for using it in a challenge that is not expert editing.
Just my opinion here. I might be too much of a purist.
Congratulation for getting so quickly to this point, since you said that photography is quite a new hobby for you. Or is it already a profession?
