We have been seeing a lot of non abstract construction site photos, as well as shots of people at construction sites. While they may be fine shots, they will be deleted.

About Construction Site Abstract

This is a group for photos taken at or of construction sites that are abstract in nature. By abstract I mean shots that focus on composition, color and pattern rather than identifiable objects or people.

If the subject of a shot is identifiable, that can be OK, as long as the object is abstracted in some way, so that identification of the subject is not the focus of the shot.

___________________________________

Here are some examples to guide you.

The following shots are OK:

threaded
Objects are identifiable to some degree, but pattern and repetition make it abstract.

iron bamboo
Again, identifiable, but still abstract.

girder and panel
A wide shot of a building under construction, focusing on pattern.

___________________________________

The following are NOT OK, for reasons given:

yellowfork
Nothing abstract about this image. Subject is plainly identifiable.

cranebridge
Again, subject is not abstracted.
___________________________________

I understand that there will always be a grey area of what qualifies and what doesn't, when in doubt feel free to ask me personally, or post in the "Does this image belong?" discussion area. I will try to err on the side of inclusion rather than exclusion so long as the integrity of the group is maintained.
