TOPIC: ABSTRACT, TEXTURES OR LINES. CRITIQUER: TOM CROCE
In an abstract image the subject is usually only a portion of the image or idea. Viewers likely will only know the essence of the subject by what is implied. An abstract image draws a viewer inward by the interest, uniqueness or beauty of the image.
Pattern photography uses repeating elements – shapes, tones, lines or color.
A strong way to improve composition is through the use of lines. Also lines lead the viewer through the image. By affecting mood, lines add emotional content to images.

TOM CROCE BIO
Tom Croce is originally from Cleveland, Ohio and currently reside in South Western, Ohio. He received his B. Ed. Degree from Miami University School of Fine Art in 1984, and in 1987 earned his Master of Architecture Degree from Washington University. Tom believes that photography begins with the act of seeing, it is the art of noticing and seeing the beauty in nature and capturing that moment. “Through my photography I reach deep inside myself and strive to create environmental portraits that evoke a sense of time and place, that will touch another, inspiring a love and desire to protect the beauty of our natural environment.”
