I love that you have an "abstract / textures" section. You could probably also call it the "flat" section, if this example is typical. By "focusing" on abstract shapes and texture, the illusion of 3-D is lost and the viewer is forced to admit what s/he is *always* looking at when s/he is viewing a photo: a flat image. At this point, it might even occur to the viewer that s/he is not looking at a *subject*. This is of course what the abstract movement was all about, emphasizing composition and color, but I know that you know all this. I just want you to know that is the level on which I enjoy this. It is a simpler composition than Kandinsky would like, probably, but I find it a pleasing elegance. The point of interest for me becomes the drain(?), since you have given a linear blur to a swirling shape, you create a center of visual fascination. It's hypnotic, a similar effect to twirling it around, oddly enough. As to colors, I enjoy the bright orange (or red) and how it relates to the subdued orange (or brown) background (which has a great rough texture, btw) |
