michaellinder Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 I just don't understand the reasons for the recent lack of participation, for the last 9 days. Anyone have any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandy Vongries Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 There have been more than in recent past - IMO of variable abstract "provenance" . Though I posted one or two, Abstract is not usually what I am looking for or see through the finder, so in short supply in current photos or archives. Not terribly fond of PP, so my collection comes up with Abstract pretty much nonexistent . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanford Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 The concept is too abstract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaellinder Posted October 26, 2018 Author Share Posted October 26, 2018 Yet, Gary, I'm firmly convinced that PP works in creating abstract images, though not necessarily all the time. Sadly, since I'm still trying to improve on my camera work, I can't always depend on an in-camera image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDMvW Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 (edited) I just don't understand the reasons for the recent lack of participation, for the last 9 days. Anyone have any thoughts? Maybe because people are being snapped at for the "abstractness" or not of their posts....? A search for "purity of essence" has been the death, or bane, of many a forum Edited October 27, 2018 by JDMvW 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Shadow Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 (edited) Maybe because people are being snapped at for the "abstractness" or not of their posts....? A search for "purity of essence" has been the death, or bane, of many a forum Maybe “purity of essence” is a deliberate overstatement. If we can’t have a reasonable discussion when a forum is being consistently misrepresented, often by those who innocently post on the topic without even noting it’s the abstract forum they’re posting to, then common sense has been tossed right out the window. The Nature forum manages to discuss what can and can’t be posted to certain threads and that forum survives. The Street forum has had many such discussions as has Fine Art and Nudes over the years. Trying to maintain some sense that this is an Abstract forum without going overboard on rules or limitations seems a very reasonable thing to do. And it’s NOT a search for purity of essence.
