July Photo Challenge -Discussion

May be I already covered that - but mostly we have two groups of voters, those trying to evaluate the pics according to technic & art - and those voting according to their EMOTIONS.

Golly! I can almost hear icky noises being made!

What on earth is wrong with taking the emotional element into account when voting? There can be several pictures taken which meet the technical and artistic criteria - how do you choose one of them? I would be looking for the one that made a connection with me somehow - made me laugh, smile, long to be where that photo was taken, etc.

I also want to remind people that this is a CHALLENGE, not a contest or competition. The only thing you get for winning is the congratulation of your peers and the chance to pick the next theme. It's a bit of fun, not solely an exercise in technical excellence. And, as has been said before, it's all subjective - what meets one persons criteria will not necessarily match anothers, which is fine because we're all different.
 
Two great entries so far - I love them both. I was going to do a Humpty Dumpty one myself, but it didn't turn out half as well as yours, Hoopy.:)

My inspiration for my first entry comes from Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary, and the idea came straight out of the blue. Just managed to take the pic before it started raining again, too.:)
 
Hex does photos now? We're dooooomed!


And it took me two days to think of this...






(wait for it....)






(wait.....)



Cracking photo, Hoopy!

Hmm... I've just taken a photo based on the Little Miss Muffet nursery rhyme, but I'm not sure whether to post it yet or not. It features the villain of the piece, after all.:)

I might wait a little while and see what others ideas pop up.
 
You mean Little Miss Muffet? I never liked the way she tried to intimidate the spider.
 
No, Muffet was a real bully.

(Thanks for all the kind words, guys -- sorry not to have responded -- the software* banned me from the site!)

I have another photo to post but I'm too scared to put it on -- the last twice I've been blocked from the Chrons after trying to post links to photobucket and if it happens here as well, I'll have nowhere left to access the Chrons from!

* I think. It might not have been the Chrons software but Virgin Media and then AOL -- but something did.
 
I like the challenge and the entries - all of them! I think it will turn out to be a good month. I think we should vote both on artistic merit and the interpretation of the challenge. If you think the voting here is wrong then you have never watched Eurovison. Or X-Factor.
 
Lol - I couldn't find a Miss Muffet, so I took the pic of the spider instead. I always felt a bit sorry for the spider, though. I always got the impression that he just wanted to say hello and share the curds and whey. Mind you, I had a vivid imagination when I was younger. I suppose I still do.:)
 
I just assumed she didn't like being spied on, or that there was something illicit about eating curd.
I was a punny child.
 
Groan.

Yey! I've posted photo number 2 and I still to still be here. No more photobuckets for me. I'll stick with attaching things (if I'm allowed).
