Trying something new and experimenting and trying to challenge myself as I've been feeling like I haven't been growing as a photographer lately.

If I may ask with out sounding like an ahole but what is the challenge in this photo? 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

It is an abstract shot. 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.


I am Henry. NOT Hank. And certainly not a length of rope tied in a knot. ;)
My family calls me Hen, but you can call me Chicken. See you out there!
