A Beat From Within

Too defined to be an abstract, not enough definition to really hook me on the patterns being presented here. Overall I like this, but its just not as powerful as I think it could be.

I imagine this has some appeal to a fan of very esoteric, minimalist art. I'm not a fan, but I admire your courage for submitting it.

Nice silhouettes which form an interesting pattern. I wish they were more dominant in the frame. Being overwhelmed by the sky, they really lose their impact.

The Art of Rhythm

I love the violin, and I tend to be drawn to pictures of it as well. Unfortunately I don't find that its shape lends itself to the challenge as there aren't very strong, repeating patterns inherent in it.

Not very attractive lighting, and my archnemesis "the jaggies" seems to be wreaking havoc with your diagonal lines.

An interesting experiment, but not one that is working for me.

Relax: Take it easy

I wish the back wall were in focus as I think it would take a very mundane rhythm (horizontal rectangles) and add just the right splash of jazz to it (vertical shapes, repeating arches, irregular sized blocks). I do like the play of light and shadow behind the main subject.

Thousands of Beating Wings

Something is odd about this shot. I can't tell if its some processing applied to the birds, or if the scale of the birds compared to the background is what is throwing me - but the birds look as if they were pasted onto the scene. It's a very disconcerting effect. Look forward to reading your notes after the challenge.

This is a beautiful abstract. A subtle rhythmic pattern that engages me but remains difficult to define. Great job.

Rhythm of the Water

Comment:
Nice patterns in the shell, but your title is presenting this as a study of the water itself. The water is almost invisible it is so insignifigant in the shot. At the same time, the interesting patterns in the shell are not taken advantage of in any way which allows them to define the photo. I feel like there are two thoughts here, neither of which is strong enough to pull me in but either of which might do so if presented differently.
