Pastel 5 (photographs of nothing)

[invisible]

A couple days ago, unpopular and I had an interesting – albeit short – exchange of ideas on another thread about "photographs of nothing". It's been a while since I've shot abstract or semi-abstract imagery, so this weekend I set my mind on producing some. I'm not sure if all of these work as a series – the uneven processing says no – but they look kind of "orphaned" when viewed separately so I'm lumping them together here.

Hope you like.

Thanks for looking.

I really like these! I would totally buy them to hang in my house.

I and V appeal to me the most,at this small web size. Seen larger, all of them would have good stuff to reveal,slowly,I think.

Very nice. They remind me of some of my favorites I took a while back; linked so not to hijack your thread:

I love this minimal stuff.

#5 is my favorite, I think it's because it's the only one where all the lines flow the same way.

Good stuff, I like both, in particular the first one. Nice colour and contrast.

Thanks all for the feedback. I think that my favourite is #3.

#3 grabs me the most. I like the bit of water in the lower left and the track leading up over the ridge, although as Derrel said, one would need to spend some time with these.

One more fan of #5.

I am aiming high

#3 grabs me the most. I like the bit of water in the lower left...

That would be snow or ice, but definitely now water anymore around here

Thanks everybody for swinging by and pausing for a bit to look at these.

I really like number 3 and number 5, and will give the slight edge to 5 as it almost seems unnatural how clean the lines are.

I do have a question, this looks vaguely familiar, any chance this was taken close to Calgary off the transcanada?
