June Photo Challenge - Discussion

[StormFeather]

Yeah, SF – but joy isn’t exactly the same as celebrating, is it ??

Ah, but to a parent, such unrestrained joy on the part of any child is a cause for celebration!

Congratulations Hope!! Now, I promise to make more of an effort to take part this month, now that many other pressures have reduced, so am eagerly looking forward to the theme . . . .

Congrats Hope – ENJOY what is to be enjoyed

Thanks to those voting for my person as photographer : Alex, Mouse, Taly, Deo, and XX ??
Photographing is a fairly new discipline to this specimen - only had a camera for app. 5 years - and as always the target was the exquisite, the beauty

Congratulations hope! Let's see what you come up with now.

Commiserations to anivid and Alex. That was quite a battle you all had.

 

[Vertigo]

Congratulations Hope.

And commiserations to the rest; it was a very close decision for me.

Commiserations to anivid and Alex.

Thank you - and commiserations (if that's the word, sounds sort of something poor and depressing to you Monsiour Alchemist, you're a good sport, and your "Inner Warrior" made quite an impression

That was quite a battle you all had.

Yeah, glad I was just an innocent bystander

 

[Talysia]

Congratulations, Hope! Looking forward to seeing what the next theme is.

Thank you all *blushing bow* I have about three ideas so far, just a matter of picking one! lol. I'll try and have something up by tonight.
(First I have to call and congratulate my son for being the winning subject)

 

[Parson]

Congrats Hope! I thought your picture hit the theme spot on.

 

[Alex The G and T]

Art is not allowed to have an emotional compnent?!?

Now, that is the most bizarre statement, yet; on this thread.

Are we making mechanical drawings or art?

 

[anivid]

Hi Alex, you're in the June thread - but that's perhaps where you planned to be ??
We talked about when JUDGING a pic, judges should preferably judge the technical aspect and the artistic aspect which can be done objevtively - own emotional aspect is subjective .
I don't know if you're old enough to have been watching ice skating competitions in the Tele - or whether they're still there, but you might remember the judges holding up a card with a score for the technical quality, and after that a score card for the artistic quality - no score card for the emotional quality.
Best from Anivid
