In this week’s Photo of the Week on the Daily Critique Craig looks at a beautiful abstract photograph and discusses the following:

 

- using a slow shutter speed and camera movement to create a motion blurred abstraction

- implied lyrical movement between subjects
 

- the design and psychological power of the black

- creating visual “sea level” and separation of color by including true black, white and gray points in an image

- layering the story by including more than two colors and having background information

- the power of archetypal shapes

- containing the eye

- Canon 5D Mark 100-400mm zoom @100mm ISO 800 F4.5@ 1/8th
