A few abstracts, something different

[Geoff]

Not something I normally photograph. Comments and critique always welcome!!











These were taken recently whilst out on my bosses 48ft yacht, it was a lovely day!

The winch and the sailors clips are both quite interesting pieces geoff.

[Geoff]

Bump...
Were these that ordinary?
I can take constructive criticism

Geoff - To be honest I only really liked #2, and the others didn't strike me as abstract, well not in my dictionary.... #3 and #4 are well taken... but being honest once more it's just generally boring to me... while sailing in an interesting pastime, breaking it down into small parts doesn't hold any interest for me.

[Geoff]

Thanks Craig - appreciate your honesty mate

number 4 for me... good stock photo....

cheers

Needs to be somehow disorienting or something. This just looks like I'm looking at something really close to figure it out, but not intrigued with the general makeup or design really. And I agree that it doesn't feel really abstractish, as there isn't really any negative space, or really any moment of time where I rethink what I'm looking at.

Hey Geoff,
good clear shots but I think you need more of a theme/reason for the images.
Yachts are difficult to get interesting shots of, maybe try different angles or a b/w conversion.
This is a quick conversion I did, it's still too flat but I feel the b&w helps.
This shot was actually taken with a 'confusion' theme in my mind, which created different ways of looking at the image.

Geoff. They are all great shots well taken, exposed and composed. But, as a sailor, i see these kind of things everyday (when at work, i don't keep these type of things at home ) so your images remind me of work. Not that i work on a yacht of course, but you know what i am getting at.

Anyway, keep it up because i still enjoy looking at your images

[Geoff]

Your image is great Marty, much more interesting to look at than mine.

Steve - thanks for your comments mate, I appreciate it would remind you of work, funny how we all see things differently - all these things I've photographed remind me of leisure and great times

Looking forward to catching up and seeing you tomorrow night mate!!
