I think you grossly underestimate the cultural and psychological sensibilities of hair stylists (and barbers) .... |

If intended ironically, I'd say 'If only you knew auntie Peggy', if not I'd refer to paragraph 4 of my post. ;-)

There's nothing absurd about attempts at objectivity. While many may vote as if in a popularity contest, others may prefer to examine and study a picture. - zeuszen
Whether or not you enjoy examining things with a detached eye, Nobody should be forced to see things under the same light. To each their own is the point of my post - I am not trying to begrudge anyone the objective slant, but what tickles you may not be another's fancy.
I don't say this just to scratch against the grain - I have no intention of offending anyone.. I simply believe that people can vote however they want- and whether or not they're being reasonable is naught but opinion.
Some people appreciate academic art- It's what they're used to. Aesthetic appeal is more or less a learned thing. Myself, I sometimes resent the "rules" in art and photography. I concede that an off-center subject is infinitely more striking (usually) than something centered: but with most rules (if not all) there are exceptions.
I guess I wouldn't completely disregard objectivity - But I urge you to keep plenty of room for personal preference.
