Interesting work, Elizabeth! I like the photos you took but I think they might not fully be able to be considered abstract. I think your strongest photos for abstract are the split toned photo and the square. Those two both are interesting, use light in a good way and leave it open to the mind to question what it is. While the other photos are interesting, I think they are too on the surface and very obvious what they are. The last photo is on the edge of working for the project but I would play with edits to make it stand out a bit more. Good work!
Hi Elizabeth. Your strongest images are your first two, although I can understand why Skylar also thinks the square is successful. For me however, images 3, 4 & 5 become repeating patterns, and while patterns can be a wonderful approach to making an abstraction, generally there needs to be a break from that pattern. For instances, with your first image, you could consider the texture of the glass a pattern, but it is broken by the black lines and other tones in the image. Which makes it much stronger. I would replace your last three with new works. Good Luck!
