Title: Circles of life
Mysteries and conundrums are concealed everywhere and anything around us. Abstract photography is the missing link which joins random things and the everyday world with the imaginary realm. Through the eye of abstraction, we can see what is beyond the obvious. The abstract photograph featured here is a striking example.
This image from a boat cruise into Glacier Bay National Park is definitely a captivating abstract image. Bartlett Cove is a place where lofty mountain summits, fjords etched with ice and colossal water glaciers gave Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve the reputation of being one of the most breathtaking places in the world.
Abstract photographs require several elements to appear like it is well-composed. Lines make up a beautiful composition for an abstract scene. This photo features lines which are really creative and suggestive. The horizontal lines give this image a calm and zen feeling. It makes viewers feel relaxed and just take a break and allows them to go with the flow.
The soothing mood of the flowing water can be felt through the long waves of horizontal lines. The repetitive lines suggest unison and movement towards a specific direction. The viewers are drawn into the picture and are taken away by that imaginary current of elements. By merely looking at this abstract picture, it makes viewers think that this image is leading them somewhere. That is the magic of abstract photography- beauty in distortion.
If you are looking for a beautiful accent for a bedroom wall, a fine art print of this photograph will definitely do the trick. Perhaps, think of hanging it as a ornamental piece for a condo with modern interior design. It will remain a perfect work of art for you and your visitors to enjoy.
