I do not disagree with your reasoning, but since I can tell that it is water hitting the shoreline, my mind is a bit less inclined to think of it as an abstract. But what constitutes "abstract" is a large gray area, so I am less concerned about what I call it and more concerned about the image's content. It seems like the kind of piece that would look good in a specific environment given its colors and motion. I like to shoot images that many would call abstract, and I find that is the case for many of those images. Then again, I am more picky about what images I do display and what images they are displayed near (abstract or otherwise), but I like a bit of negative space on our walls. Very different from the house of a very well known photographer who I visited a number of years ago. There was not a spot in the whole house that was not displaying art. I am sure if he had ever visited our house, he would have been aghast at the small number of pieces we have displayed.I guess it is abstract for me because it's more about color and form than a subject in particular. But I appreciate your thoughts.
I’ve got some things up on my walls but I’d be in the middle between you both. I have not a few but not very many as well. It’s a hard balance.Yes, it is a hard balance. I have shot lots of images that I will probably never display. But sometimes I am able to use them when I make cards or small gifts for friends. Displaying is not necessarily a sign of IQ, but more like what fits on the wall. I also use my images to make cards (holiday, birthday, thank you notes, etc.) so there is another outlet for displaying and sharing images.It’s actually water flowing over some rocks in the middle of a river
Interesting idea. I’ll have to give that a try.
