The 3rd one stands out. Photography is many things. For some it is recording an actual event as it happens just the way it looked. This is not good or bad. Many including myself enjoy this type photography. (I like both art and reality). This requires skill and is an art in itself.

There is photography for art. Your 3rd photo is a good example. It is your vision and the beauty if the location you wanted to capture. Pan blurring, slow shutter speeds, high key and monochrome, photo staking and merging photos together are just a few other ways to make photos art.

You are the art director behind the lens. You don’t have to please everyone, that would be boring!! I personally don’t get modern art with a canvas with paint splashed on it and it sells for crazy amounts of money. But others like it and that is just fine, who am I to criticize the art or their likes and dislikes!

I recently posted photos of giraffe. Most liked the color version. Have you ever seen a B&W giraffe? I personally preferred the B&W as it, to me, was more impactful. The color is nice, but is a snapshot of 2 giraffe, B&W more of an image. I took he photo and like both! You took the same waterfall and both are good in different ways!

Just my opinion!
