I hate to add to threads like this but..... Portrait mode or landscape mode shouldn't make a diffrence. As long as it is of a person (or animal) and in color, it shouldn't matter the orientation. Just have a browse through the portraiture gallery here and you can see some great portraits in landscape mode. I actually prefer portraits in landscape, but that's just me. Also, I'm sure if you check out some portrait photographers galleries on the web you will most definetly see landscape orientation portraits. Please, lets not be so narrow. But to each his/her own I suppose.
** Edited to add the "color" bit. Probably pretty important.:-) |
ditto. and i prefer portraits in landscape orientation, too.

Kadi,
Just for the record, your sarcasm was perfectly obvious to me and I did NOT intend to lump you in any anal-retentive category. Some others, earlier in the thread, I'm not so sure about :-) Maybe everyone is just spoofing, but I donno.... I know you too well from your posts, though, to take that one seriously...

Robert,
I certainly wasn't calling you out. My comment was definitely directed at those who don't seem to, ahem, remember literary device from 7th grade. (And I'm rather flattered that you know me so well that I've become, well, would you say "unbelievable"?
To all others,
Chill!
And please! Would you use the key-board given smilie faces liberally so we know that you aren't really dickering about the orientation of the "Portrait" you are about to commit I mean, submit. |

How's about this family portrait? Is it too vague? I saw this and I still can't stop laughing.

But it doesn't specify which portrait. What about a portrait of a city with a portrait layout. Would that not fit this challenge??? Far as I can tell both fit this particular challenge.

Ok, one think you don't do in this challenge, is "think out side the box" (you'll have plenty of excuses to do this in this challenge: Perspective II).....I thought out side the box for a few minutes in the last portrait challenge,
stick with the classic idea of what a portrait is and you'll do great....I didn't do to well as I placed: 117 out of 135 Although just a few like it.

Personally, it seems blatantly obvious to me. Any photo that is not 1.25:1 and is not a portrait of a flying monkey wearing a tuxedo will get absolutely no higher than a 2 from me.
...well, Bruce says we need to be more open minded, so ok, a 3 if it's technically flawless! But no monkey-no higher!
...oh, and 2 bonus points if the monkey has on a green vest as opposed to a black cumber-bun.

Sounds like it fits to me. Go for it.

Yup yup! Don't overcomplicate a simple issue. |
