I really like abstract photographs, so I'm drawn to these. I think they're beautiful. Actually the second one seemed more appealing to me than the first, and I was curious as to why. The composition of the second one seems to have more balance, I think, and even abstracts need balance. Then I noticed something interesting: as I scrolled down and the top of the first image started to disappear off the screen, the image became immensely more appealing. So my take would be that the first would actually be better (IMHO) if the top were cropped off. The crop that seemed the most pleasing was just above that sort of squiggly thing on the right hand side. That would crop out nearly 1/2 of the image which would severely limit your finished print size, but that's how I see it.

Thanks, magnetoman. For you, they're not abstract. For me, the word "found" used in the title precludes any PP other than some cropping; and "abstract" implies (for me) the qualities you enumerate, powerfully arranged. I guess that means I've contradicted myself. Not the first time! I really appreciate your response.

AzPicLady. I think, maybe, that's the way I see it also. Your thoughtful, helpful commentary is much appreciated. Many thanks.
