There's a local contest going on and the theme is "abstract". Both were shot using my 50mm. Comments and criticism are always appreciated. Thanks!

Nice, although I would have chosen a different angle on #2 ( maybe lay under them and shoot up at an angle) and better lighting on #1. Come on get crazy it is abstract.


I never, Not once claimed to read your post...

I like them both, but #2 really stands out for me.

Both are great. Number one is the best IMHO...

I think both are perfect the way they were taken. The approach/angle taken on 2 is good. If there were any other angles taken, it wouldn't fill the the picture as much taking a picture head on because they're flat objects. Good job.

I like both. But if it is abstract.... mabie add a color cast to the first one and see if it works better.
