I am interested in minimalist and abstract photography. I am new to this theme and approach. I am looking for feedback and comments for improvement. Thank you.

Hi J... also being new to this genre I'm not really well equipped to offer much help except to say that i feel the images are not quite abstract enough...
I know its not much help, but its all ive got. Keep it up though as am i...
Understood
Hi J. I feel that minimalistic images need a strong and recognizable form as a primary subject and a lack of distractions throughout the rest of the image.
I think you have the right idea in your first image, but the subject itself is not strong enough to hold the eye. On top of that, the highlights in the water really pull the eye, especially at the top of the frame.
The second image has a more recognizable form, but the background is a bit busy for me.
Keep shooting with those thoughts in mind and I think you'll see a marked improvement - the main thing is to enjoy the process
I have included an image that meets my own criteria just so you can see what I'm aiming at.
Great example, Alan. Thanks.
