That art I wasn't able to define!

Assalamu alaikom (Peace be unto you) I hope you all are fine. When I got my subbie, I thought I'd make one feature each week, but things do not always work the way I plan them! This second one is among my favourites; it's about Abstract photography. Honestly, I didn't know anything about this kind of photography, but after all the time I spent on DA collecting and observing the photographs and artworks, I could grab the meaning behind what I am seeing. Abstract photography is one of my favourites because of its intriguing simplicity and, sometimes, its cheerful colourfulness. It has a creative characteristic because it depends on the photographer's alertness in spotting the right subject, the right place and right shapes. Indeed, I understood from what I observed that Abstract Photography is all about shapes, lines, colours, curves and texture. These seem like ordinary features, but not everybody notices them around, and not everybody sees them the way others do! The right photographer needs to be at the right place, in the right angle, to frame the right elements, for a unique piece of an Abstract photograph. I think that's the secret of it being so eye-catching! It seems that there are plenty of opportunities around us to get those photographs; the only thing someone seems to need is an abstract eye: one that has a special geometric message to transmit to the brain! If anyone out there happens to miss the point about Abstract Photography, please check out the photos featured below; they're very beautiful examples of what I'm talking about. You'll certainly love the colours and shapes! As for the owners of these photos, thank you for sharing your works and letting us learn from them. _{If you think I'm getting it wrong or just missing something, please teach me! ^^} Tiled abstracts Abstract in stairs Broken Shadowy abstract Unique lights Crafted by water :thumb197980327: Squares and Rectangles Gorgeous pieces Blue abstract Lines Vertical Abstract colours Nature-related Food Miscellaneous Where you can enjoy a WONDERFUL abstract gallery: *- My collection -*
