Read article on composition:
Here is a  article that I would like you to READ.  It focuses on abstract photography.  This article has four parts.

Here is another article on composition.  http://www.morguefile.com/docs/Jodie_Coston:_Lesson_1

CREATE:

Using any digital camera, including a quality cell phone, take a minimum of 20 abstract photos based entirely on some of the compositional rules mentioned  in the articles and videos.  Subjects should be more abstract, not be recognizable,  or barely recognizable.  In your blog ,  upload the final  version of the image and write an explanation of why you think the composition makes a visually interesting image according to the compositional rules.

Note:  You can open the image in Photoshop and crop the image until you like the composition.
