I am not taking anything away from the photo its good. I myself try not to pin myself down to being one type of photographer ie; portrait, landscape, macro I shoot what interest me. I think a lot of ppl get caught up in what type of photographer they should be when we should just shoot what makes us happy Run it's the big bad amateur

I don't see what is so special here except an obvious effort to make a photo be considered an abstraction. I am Henry. NOT Hank. And certainly not a length of rope tied in a knot.

Hence, the "abstract feeling." I agree. I don't see what is so special here except an obvious effort to make a photo be considered an abstraction. One of the things a photo needs to have in order to be considered a great photograph, is to have the ability to invoke a sense of supreme photo-reality in the viewer; to depict a scene that someone could look at at and almost enter the world of--whether that world be literally depicted in the photo or suggested. This evokes the sense of supreme reality, but I feel a hyper-realistic painter or a CG artist could evoke the same feelings with one of their artworks. This gives me not much feeling. Nor, does it give me a world to enter. The only thing it does is leave me with the same feeling any abstract does: curiosity. That is a good thing I suppose. Where did you find a picture of a chicken punching Peter griffin hahahaha that made me laugh so hard. Run it's the big bad amateur
