I'm with Alan. To me Portrait & Candid are 2 different things. Portrait implies an intentionally created image while Candid implies an unplanned catch. Just my opinion, I'm sure others see it differently.

I'm with Alana and Cindi.

I used to be complimented for having a nice butt, back in the day. Ah, those were the days.

Let me get this straight, you're complaining about the lack of deail in the challenge description (when the specific detail IS mentioned in the description) without having read the description because you don't plan on entering the challenge?

WOW

;-)

I wasn't complaining about anything.

[REDACTED]

...
So I looked up six different online dictionaries for a definition of â��portraitâ�� and found the following entries listed below. Note: the first and most common definition of â��portraitâ�� involves a representation of a person, especially featuring the face. I did not include any of these definitions below, choosing instead to only list other definitions of portrait from these six sources, including a much wider range definitions than DPC voters are currently using. Oddly, if the voters simply read the challenge details (â��Include 3 or more human beings in your photographâ��), the SC clearly left this challenge open to a wider range of options than the â��inside the boxâ�� voters want. These same boxed voters seem to love voting entries low simply because human faces do not fill the frame.

So here it is: ...[REDACTED], I got the chance, and read up on the definition of portrait.

DICTIONARY.NET (featuring WEBSTERS REVISED UNABRIDGED DICTIONARY)
The meaning of the word portrait is sometimes extended so as to include a photographic likeness. Hence, any graphic or vivid delineation or description of a person; such as, a portrait in words.
THEFREEDICTIONARY.COM
A likeness of a person that is created by a painter or photographer, for example.
A verbal picture or description, especially of a person.
ASKOXFORD.COM
An artistic representation of a person, especially one depicting only the face or head and shoulders.
BRAINYQUOTE.COM
Any graphic or vivid delineation or description of a person; as, a portrait in words.
ALLWORDS.COM
A written description, film depiction, etc of someone or something. Example: a portrait of country life.
WORDWEB.COM
Any likeness of a person, in any medium.

But, please donâ��t allow these "Outside the Box" definitions of â��portraitâ�� mess with your mind or your voting patterns. Afterall, photography began with a pin hole punched in a box.

Meet you in the next challenge,
