| i have posted a photograph in the comfort challenge and everyday I am getting more surprised to notice that a very few of the commenters are actually serious about or have the gray matter to feel the difference between comfort and pain. I am extremely sorry to say this but I think the admin should atleast change some of their rules about voting so that a lot of photographs by serious photographers don`t get wasted in the process of casual voting by the people who don`t feel,think & know anything about photography or photographic ideas. |

You mean people who see, think or interpret differently than you? |

as much as it pains me to post on yet another thread concerning this topic...
if you aren't ready to accept comments from a wide variety of viewpoints then don't post your pictures in a public forum.

| That's life. Any time you ask a variety of people for their opinion you're going to get a variety of responses, some carefully thought through, some not. We live with it, we learn from it. |

TRUE - I am one of those people, I am not a professional - I do photography as a hobby (not very good at it), but I do appreciate a good photo.
I don't know much about Composition,Noise,Rule of 6 and whatever else the professionals look it. I look at a photo - if it is at least in focus and looks nice - I will score it good and if not - I will score it less.
Unfortunately for you - people like me will vote your photo and if in my point of view it is not nice - I will vote it low - doesn't matter to me if it is "photographically correct" or not - what appeals to me is the quality. Some photos I don't like - no matter how good it is.

And old and much-repeated complaint here, and this won't be the last time either. there ar a number of very committed, highly competent and highly individual photographers here - all of whom, I think, have learnt to live with the reactions of viewers who have years less photographic experience than themselves, and far less 'understanding'. Some people will vote on entirely technical details - focus, detail, la la la, and some will vote on impact after a near-lifetime of looking at photographs. The former vastly outnumber the latter - inevitably.
If you want juried competitions, then you must enter jurued competitions, and not those who ask all memebers to vote with no qualification.

I agree - I love to vote, and I should think that as a photographer you would want the avg man on the street to appreciate your photo - not only the professionals. Your challenge is to produce a photo that appeals to everybody.

Of course a lot of people vote casually - this is a public amatuer site. It's a hobby site, a fun site, a site for learning.
It is NOT a serious or professional site.
