August Challenge - Abstract?
Some of the pictures are accidental abstractions or not quite abstract, but I didn't want to miss out on this month's challenge.

I really enjoy creating something different with drones. I've had the Mavic now for about four weeks and I absolutely love it.

Thanks for posting Jose. I see your point, and quite like the graphical nature of the last two.
Looking at your portfolio, abstract does bot appear to be your thing. With that in mind, I wonder what you feel about other posts members have submitted.
I think it would be interesting to hear feedback from someone who doesn't shoot abstract (good OR bad!).
Thank you, Alan. I do appreciate abstract photography quite a lot and a lot of yours and other photographers' work posted is mind blowing.
I do think you need to have a comfort and vision in photography that is not the main focus of my path at this moment. However, I do like to experiment a lot and while most of the experiments fail my expectations, some might help to clear the way to some abstract work that I can enjoy.
Nice photos, Jose. The second one is nicely composed. I'm really drawn to it. What's really interesting in that photo is the harshness of the closed cement walls along with the loneliness of the sky contrasted with the wonderful, vibrant, lively reflections! Nice work.
Thank you for your kind words!
I live in one of the most densely populated cities in the world, and some of my work tries to reflect that reality. The balance of showcasing a bit of that reality with something I find pleasing and somewhat "art-worthy" is a much bigger struggle than I thought it would be.
Hopefully or not, someday I can satisfy that need and move on to less needy objectives.
Sorry I'm late to the game...
I really like your second photo Jose, the reflections on the glass in great and makes the photo. There are lines going all over the place, but extremely geometrical and not haphazard.
Thank you, Dean.
