Word again! Ok, I am bored tonight, but I did not get a chance to read all of this before. Really good points.

This is a photography site and not chemistry 101 where every formulation has to be exact.
I tell you honestly. When I read comments on photos that really attack something I read "hostility". A strange thing to feel coming from folks looking and voting but it's true. Where that is coming from..I can't say.
The most negative thing I ever feel is nothing. I can't say I have ever looked at a photo and then the title and said..even in my head.."Well, if it wasn't for the title it would never meet the challenge...grrrr".
A title is part of any art. Sculpture, painting, photo. It's part of the artists vision. Just go with it. Enjoy it. But all the anger is really strange :-/

Mine, if I submit it, will be all about the title. And I will probably be back in the 3-4 range.

I've been thinking about this "fear" challenge and how titles are going to play into it. I think this is going to be a very different challenge for everyone. Fear is not a tangible object. We can't debate that "this photo has no fear in it" like we can "this photo is not of a transparent object." The entire challenge is metaphorical. Therefore, I think titles are going to play a huge part in making the viewer understand what the photo says about fear. I know I've already had a few ideas that really rely on a title to hammer the point home.
It's going to be an interesting challenge.

| Thank you, jmsetzler for starting this thread. Maybe it's just me, but I see running through it, sometimes in the background, sometimes out loud, to PLEASE cut the photographer a little slack about the interpertation of the challange. I doubt if there's one person who didn't try to meet the challange to the best of their ability. If you don't get it, if you don't happen to be on the same waveleingth as he/she was, take a minute and try to let the picture work for you. Paranoia was a beautiful picture and it's very possible it didn't win the competition this week because a few of us didn't let the photo work its magic on us and gave it 1s or 2s. Let's loosen up a bit, assume the photographer isn't a complete incompetent idiot and grade accordingly. I feel better now:) |
