Official Abstract/Surreal Thumbshare: May 2013
Overview
Hallo; I'm ^arctoa and I'm the Community Volunteer for Abstract and Surreal Photography. As part of my effort to bring abstract and surreal art to wider attention, I am hosting these monthly thumbnail exhibitions for you guys to post up thumbnails of your abstract/surreal deviations. Or, if you prefer, you can post some abstract/surreal work made by others that you particularly enjoy.
The best work submitted will make its way into a special Feature Friday news article at the end of the month.
While my main focus is with abstract and surreal photography, feel free to post work from other media; this is about showcasing the genre as much as the medium. With that in mind, please check out (and comment upon) the work featured herein.
Rules
- Post no more than Five thumbs in total. This is to ensure you post only what you consider to be high quality work.
- Post abstractions and surrealisms only. While work from any medium is welcome, there are other threads for other genres.
- Keep comments respectful on the works of others. This isn't a discourage of constructive critique, only blind abuse.

It's my pleasure. 
Btw, as a gallery director do you find infrared landscape photos more suiting for the surreal or the landscape folder?

Firstly, apologies for the delayed response.
Secondly - and this is just my own thoughts on the matter - I think it depends upon what's in the composition, really. My first inclination, were I to take any myself, would be to place them in Landscape unless the subject matter itself contained an otherworldly element. That said, I think it's fair to place them in Surreal because of the tonal oddities that are produced. Basically, it's a matter of preference and I certainly have no issue seeing infrared landscape shots in the Surreal category.
