yeah i agree the last one is pushing the limits... and even though i think it is an implied line, i think it is fair not to agree

I think you're right. I am so excited about my idea, but I'm already preparing myself for those "doesn't meet the challenge" comments because of the eye's tendency to see lines. But I'm also thinking that if the objects are spaced too far apart, as in Leaf's excellent examples, people are going to say those don't meet the challenge, too. Guess those of us who enter had just better be mentally prepared for rejection! |

the eye creates a 'line' connecting the wooden posts in this shot
our eye creates a 'line' between these two's eyes
ok you get my point....
others thoughts?? disagree agree |
I agree with all your examples but this one. I understand what you're saying, but I don't think it will fly here. |

We know the majority of the voters will never see this forum. So if we are concerned about scores we need to think like the average person who has seen no feedback about this challenge. This is the first challenge I really just can't get a grip on. Sigh....

If you want to be happy, post the one you like best... If you want a good score, it better be a row of trees like the challenge says :(

You could always enter number 2 in the Free Study. And give the third one a title including the word "Poverty. :) |

My suggestion is that we are making a big deal about this. Do not get too esoteric or cute with your entries because it will fly over many heads. The challenge is simple: implied lines. These run rampant because the eye constantly seeks to see a whole out of the parts.
Best to represent them in groups so that the voter has enough choices, but remember to try and lead the eye...do not make the eye find the treasure. Best to compose with implied lines as the main thrust of the composition. This is one subject found everywhere but go easy on the voters and do not give them the challenge of seeking the implied lines. Hit him in the face with them. |

I'm just going to do what I do with *EVERY* challenge, put a shot in that I like, and screw the voters. (well, those I can convince to screw me that is.. ha.. ha.. I didn't just say that)

I couldn't agree more. I entered my best photo of the week without regard to the topic in the nightshot II just because it was my best photo of the week and surprise (!), it is actually getting an OK score. |

Ok I took a quick look through the submissions. There are dozens of different interpretations of this challenge. I'm just going to vote on the photo and not worry about it fitting the challenge.

| I went through about 10 pages so far and I see a lot of "real" lines, not a lot of implied. Not sure how to vote now as so many seem to have sent in photos of things that are clearly real lines. When something is planted or put there in a straight line or row by man, that doesn't seem to be the "implied" type of line the challenge was meant for. |

I think you are wrong, in the challenge description it states "(for example, the "line" made by a row of trees)". Now if we are going to be so pedantic as to question the planting of trees being a 'real' line or not then it is a very sad state of affairs.
The definition is simple, an implied line is an invisble line, if I erected 10 poles in a row and looked at them my mind would automatically construct a line along the tops of them, the line is not really there in a literal sence, but is perseved to be there - it's as simple as that.

I'm with colda on this one.. an implied line is one that isn't real, but *implied*.. this is done by lining seperate objects up in various formations to make our mind "see" a line.. man-made or not.
However, if you feel that an implied line *has* to occur naturally, that's your perogative..
