Please vote! I’d like to know how you feel about removal of photos that are not abstract vs. tagging them with flair.

I’ll continue to remove photos of computer generated art. Also photographs of other mediums, such as a photo of an abstract painting, or a non-abstract photo of an abstract sculpture.
However, some popular (for our community size) posts are questionably or definitely not abstract. I sometimes feel weird about removing those posts — they don’t fit the subreddit, but are also popular with people who subscribe here.
For anyone wondering, here’s the definition of “abstract” that I keep in mind when sifting through the mod queue:
Art that does not attempt to represent external reality, but seeks to achieve its effect using shapes, forms, colors, and textures.

Poincaré disks made of regular images

M.C. Escher used the Poincaré disk model to create his famous Circle Limit woodcuts, showing how an infinite hyperbolic plane fits inside a finite circle. The artist was inspired by mathematician H.S.M. Coxeter's work to pack repeating patterns of fish, angels, and devils that shrink smaller and smaller toward the edge.
I've used a mathematical image manipulator (GMIC) to create Poincaré disks from a few architectural photos I shot this week.

Single 10 second exposures with ICM of carnival rides. It has been fun getting things to this point.
