Abstract of the House

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

A little abstract of the all too often photographed House.
More about curves, lines and texture than of anything else.
Photography is not a crime, but perhaps my abuse of artistic license is?

I got no idea which way is up, down left or right - or what on earth it is actually of - but i like it. :up: :up:

the curves and lines work well - I can also see it workign well as a contrasty BW.

No amount of processing will fix bad composition - trust me i have tried.

Intriguing indeed! Nice shot of the SOH. Very unique. :cheers:

Maybe needs to be printed large so one can immerse in it.

Thanks guys... as shown it is actually the right way up, but I don't think it matters much as it's all about the lines and curves so who cares? It was just one of those off the cuff shots taken in passing, and when I went back to it thought I saw some abstract potential.

I did try a few b&w conversions but they all seemed to lose something. That might be more about my PP than anything else :lol:

I'll be interested to do a print in A3 and see if something wall size might work... it's about time I put something on a wall in my new place!!!

I quite like it Mj. The only comment I can make is
that the bottom part appears blown out on my
computer screen.

bright yes... blown no... I've checked.
I'd humbly suggest that you check the balance on you monitor as the histogram tells a different story.

Agree with the consensus that this is a very interesting abstract study.

I'd agree, the bottom is bright but a just this side of being blown.
