| The WOW Factor.....an interesting "grading" issue that blows my mind. I mean sure, there are some images that grab you and "wow" you. And if those images meet the current challenge then all the more power to them. But I am at a loss to understand where critiquing an image on the basic fundamentals lost out to the WOW Factor. I am convinced that regardless of the topic, I should submit images of a small animal--say a monkey, reading the Wall Street Journal, sipping on a cup of java, dictating into a small dictation machine for his strenuous day of work at the zoo...That outta WOW someone! |

If you can get a -----------small animal--say a monkey, reading the Wall Street Journal, sipping on a cup of java, dictating into a small dictation machine for his strenuous day of work at the zoo...-------I will give you a WOW. :)<lol>
Seriously I think I know just how you feel. Keep telling yourself that the following week you will make them all say WOW. Keep shooting, keep clicking, don't give up.

| HAHAHAHAHHAA....just me venting! I, like I am quite sure, some of you seek to make the best images possible for the challenges. I know that I fail miserably sometimes...as last week challenge's submission proved (and it wasn't unexpected I suppose). But I come here (and love it here) because I learn from other (and sometimes I think--the best) photographers this site has to offer. To state that an image lacks a "wow" element, while understandable to me, gets me no closer to taking techincally sound images. That's my greater interest...and thankfully to some fabulous people who I have never had the pleasure of meeting who take the time to critique my images, I have learned. So a shutter bug I shall continue to be. Well enough said on the topic. I gotta go earn a living. |

WOW factor is a term i like to use when describing a photo. The WOW factor is different for each individual. When an image makes me say 'wow', then I usually consider it to be a very strong image.

I liked the photo -- good concept for journalism -- and gave it a high score. Perhaps a more in-depth critique from someone with experience would help you technically.
WOW only occurs occasionally in any set of photos - perhaps one time at best.

Monkeys always get a WOW out of me, so feel free to submit that :)
