I posted this in the Q3 photo thread, but thought it fit here, too.

While driving on a three day trip from Yakima to Southern California, I often get bored while my wife is driving, so i do some drive-by shots out the window.  Last year I posted some at the insane 1/40,000 second shutter speed of the Q2.  The Q3 does not go that fast so I took a different tact and tried to see what the world would look like at 1/4 second.  Here are a couple of attempts out the side window at 65 mph.  I did a pan to keep the trees more or less still in the frame.  Not sure what made the swirl other than the wide angle of the Q3.

Merry Christmas to all.

There's a lot to like here, but all the "details", the patch job, the flaked off stucco, the striated walk, even the dark speckles,  they all draw my eye into reality and away from abstraction. The vents and window  by themselves make an amusing and nicely colored abstraction though.

Hi Gerbs,

thanks for your comment. I can only learn from exchange and other inputs so any thoughts are appreciated. I guess you are trying to tell me „nice image, wrong place“. You know for me abstract images are images where the image is not about the „thing“ itself but about combining shapes, forms and colors in an e.g. interesting/pretty/ugly/… way. In that sense the image is abstract for me because I am not trying to show a window or a wall but and arrangement of colors and shapes that I found worth taking a picture off and sharing. But I can understand that views might differ. 
Thanks again and best regards,

Michael

Yes, the abstractness of everything BUT the lower left corner was beautiful, but for me. the lower left corner forced my eye into window and vents, instead of abstract. It was "too much reality".  If you had framed the photo with just the wall and vents and window... oo la la. :)

Ahh, now that qualifies to be posted in "Abstract", at least by my values.   As art, I find that I ---think--- it might be even more satisfying with less of the bottom in the image. Maybe 1/4 to 1/3 less space under the window. My eye thinks it would balance the tensions better, but that's just my eye. When looking at an image, or a viewfinder, I try to let my eye just wander around, and take note of where it stops, and what feeling is produced, to answer "why" it stopped.  In this case it gets trapped under the window, keeps wanting to return there to find something... perhaps it wants to balance out the vents. If the space under the window is less, it might not feel like it needs anything, and will set my eye free to wander the whole image at leaisure.
