Abstract Photography

This was taken by Franco Fontana



While you can tell that there is a cloud the color in the rest of the photo makes it abstract, what can be perceived as the ground isn't the natural color of it.

The photographer shot a landscape, and probably changed the color in the photo afterword

I chose the photo because of the color dynamic between the ground and the cloud. The ground also looks similar to the Lithuanian Flag

5 helpful hints:

1. Photograph what catches your eye
2. Seek out Texture and Patterns
3. Look for lines and Curves
4. Play in Post
5. Go Macro


This is the abstract photo I took
