Mr Drizz's picture

Empty

Not something I usually do, there is no point of interest, no lead in line. It's just the colour in the clouds and reflection that caught my eye.

Lytham beach, UK.

Good job, Mr D! "No point of interest, no lead in line" is fine by me. There is no universal formula for a satisfying image. Joel Meyerowitz' beautiful portfolio "Bay/Sky", for one, is largely composed of such images. You might like it if you don't know it already.

Plenty of colour to be of interest to me.

Hi Mr Drizz. I don't think this needs a specific point of interest, but for me this evokes a feeling of discord.
You have that (signature) wonderfully smooth and toned water, contradicted by a contrasty, vibrant sky.

It is nevertheless a nice shot, but I think it would be improved by a sky that better complements the tranquil mood set by the water.

I love this! As an abstract photographer, one of the hardest images to create is the 'abstract landscape'. It is not like you can find a texture/lines/color subject within another subject, isolate and arrange it and have a great abstract. A landscape is hard to remove from context - one of the goals of abstracts.

Now take a look at this image without looking a sea or sky. Just let your eye soak in color, texture and layers. You have a really nice abstract here.

Super well done. I hope you try for more like this. You have a great eye for abstract!

Thank you Ruth, Ive never thought about it like that.
