I can't agree more with you, George!
As you wrote "isolate, enhance, call attention to" is more than enough
and photography doesn't need more justification.

The unique possible way for an "abstract" photograph is compose, create... 
Something a bit strange to me, 
and possibly a sign of a human necessity to feel as a "Creator".

The world around us present so many faces, 
and there are so many ways for approach, 
with so different scales...

Thanks for it.
Regards,
Marc

+1 - Nature = Incredible

Photography can enhance our appreciation through framing, composition, 
lighting, etc.
Though photography does not "abstract" to my way of thinking.
Photography isolates, enhances, calls attention to, 

A photograph may "remind us" of one or another "abstract painting" style but 
rarely, if ever presents an abstraction of our subject
matter.
Because photography so closely represents the physical or concrete existence 
of our subjects within a specific slice of time and
space.

Exceptions: when people like Montie intentionally "abstract" what the camera 
recorded.
