Critiquing, judging and Scoring of Photographs

Flow

Posted under Abstract, Color, Critiqued

FlowCool our first abstract.   

This image was taken using the surface flow of a fast moving stream of water.  The white currents create the feeling of the action and movement.  I think your placement of the largest white current area in the upper right hand corner allows the movement to flow across the image.  By allowing the large semi-tranquil area in the bottom half you have enough color from the bed of the creek to come through for added interest, though the color is a bit muddy. 

As an abstract it works well but there is no strong graphic element other than the horizontal white current.  I wish that the faint curve of the reflection at the bottom left hand corner of the image were more prominent.  I like the photograph, but it would have been cool to have a red or gold fall leaf floating in the lower half to add a strong subject.

  1. Nice image but I dont have half a clue how you got said image from the original.

  2. Oh and by the way, the original image is quite strong in itself if you could smooth out the subject rock and get rid of the twig in the top-left and the rock in the top-right.
