Abstract #14

Folkestone Harbour. I was taking a shot of the padlock and noticed how the boats blurred into the background. Not sure if this is classed as an abstract or not (but the padlock is an abstraction)!

Like your shot but why must they ( whoever they are) put a lock on those chains.....

[Mags]

Wonderful! Love that rusty texture!

[Kathy]

I like your DOF and the warm light on the chain.

[Susan Wakely]

Still trying to fully understand abstract and this one works for me.

[Esther Rosenberg]

nice focus, the light is so pretty.

i think more macro than abstract Felicity, but i cannot do "abstract" as i don;t have that eye !!!! Nice photo :)

[George]

Great POV.

[Melvina McCaw]

Nice image with the boats locked in with low tide!

Neat dof, composition

I agree that the lock is an distraction but the soft of the boats combined with the chain is most excellent. What about cropping at the edge of the post and leaving the lock out?

[Rob Z]

I love the abstract feel to the background scene. :)

[Merrelyn]

I like the focus on the chain and the use of dof to blur the boats.

[Jean]

love your focus!

@joysabin Thanks for that useful advice, will def use it later this month:)

[Catherine Otley]

I like this - it works really well!
