I thought I'd take a slightly new approach to a theme I've been playing with (waves).
I'm kind of liking them but also thinking they look a bit too unnatural or worked (they're actually almost straight OOC).
Anyway, I'd value any opinions, good or bad.
I do not find anything additionally interesting at this way of viewing the two pictures. Perhaps printed huge and isolated in an important gallery's white walls, they would spark conversations and significance. Sunsets are hard to be anything but merely sentimental. With a splash in front and no other guidance, where does one get hooks for meaning?
But here, you ask for "opinions, good or bad". That sets the context for our experience.
By contrast, imagine them in a respected national gallery, the Broad Museum, for example in Los Angeles! The fact that they are on display, with security personal at each entrance to the hall, already gives all the needed rank and importance. We recognize the authority and knowledge of the Broad's curators. This reality immediately gives your photographs gravitas and significance. So all the folk coming by are forced to stop and search for meaning and catch up with the nature of the art experience examples here.
Here, with your almost "self doubt", we can't so easilly get the phenomenon of "art experience" off the ground.
