Abstract????

[franklin]

Would these be considered abstract?

I'm not at all sure how abstract is defined in photography. I looked around and found this: Abstract Photography.

Your photos seem to me to meet the standard for abstract photography imposed in that particularly gallery. I gather the definition rather hinges on the idea of some element of the photo being "out of context" - as with the eyeglasses in front of the bird house, or the clothespin sunset.

Abstract or not, I really like both photographs. They leave me thinking about how simple objects might interact with my environment and create equally compelling images. Food for thought!

Whatever word you use to describe the, I would say "Very cool!"

I don't know why you didn't get a lot of replies. these are very creative shots. I absolutely love these. a lot better than alot of shots that roll through here with a lot of replies including my own . keep up the good work

Well I think of abstract as a picture or painting that takes part of a recognizable subject and makes it unrecognizable, but what every category your pictures fall into, they are both Very Creative and well caputred. I like the simple approach, using everyday things to create your art.
Thanks for sharing these

Hi Franklin,

Welcome to DPS. These photos are wonderfully creative. If they are not abstracts exactly, they are creative representational shots they give you a different set of lenses--quite literally. Very well done! Here's a link you may find interesting. It's from several months ago:
