I Am My Work -- the Thorn that Weeps, & Holds the Sky Entire...

I hear you BEAR, and its a bloody nice shot too! Hey, as an after thought, maybe you could get a reflection of your face in the water drop then you could have jambed it up all the critics!!! (just a thought)

If I had joined DPC to obtain my masters in photography i might follow every chalange to the letter. But I didnt! I joined DPC for fun, encourgement and to rekindle my love for photography. I can understand some of the politics that go on in these threads and i believe that there are many very talented photographers (pros and amatures)who use this site for nothing more than forum to get their shots out to the masses and for the masses to admire their talents. But i can't understand why if i submit a close cropped shot of my kids dirty hands playing in the sand needs to be discected to bits because its not "this" or not "that" so DNMC?

My shot was MY interpitation of the challenge. Was it a portrait? maybe not, Was it within its environment? you can take a photo of a nurse on a beach but this would not be relevant to the environment. Was it portrait or landscape? who cares!! Kids get dirty, kids play in dirt (its the enviroment!) you can tell that the hands are a childs hands so do i need to show the face for it to be deemed a portrait? if people dont like what you've shot, let them express that with their vote but they SHOULD not pick it to pieces because it does not fall in to "their" definition of the challenge.

I enjoy photography for the emotion it can bring (in the images not in comments)
Thats my thoughts. What are yours?

Gr8 image! maybe crop it so the girl in green is a little off to the left more so that the point of focus is not so centred oh her?

Nice. I dont know how much more you had to play with it in the framing, but maybe you could have framed the shell a little more to the bottom left and pulled back on it so that it appears smaller in perspective.
Cheers anyway ! i like it lots
