Abstract

I like abstract art. It is quite easy to find images in nature that are abstract. Most often I find them in a shot that I had taken, but somewhere within the original image. This is a crop of a shot that I really did not care for, and often I would look at it, and leave it. Tonight, I decided to do a crop within the original, and this is the result. It may not appeal to everyone, and this is the nature of abstract art. That little dark area in the center draws your eye into the center of the image. So the eye does not wander all over the place within the image. A good photograph or painting always has some obvious abstract element to it. In fact the way to see if an image,whether a painting, drawing or other, has a flaw, is to turn the image on its side, or upside down. The flaw will be immediately apparent. It is the abstract element of the work that makes this stand out.
