It was brought up before, and I think it would challenge us all to come up with something (tasteful??) for this. What I mean is nothing too graphically obscene...use an artistic judgement

this keep coming up... and I'll keep supporting it. I think its a great one. Its relevant to every person. I think there were a few people who were weary of the subject-- perhaps they prefer to avoid the subject, or they are afraid a corpse might appear in the challenge-- but it could be as simple as autumn leaves. C'mon, lets have it.

Sahko. Thank you very much!! I look forward to yours as well but hope it is better than the stuff in your portfolio...too drab and boring. Too bad you know nothing about endeavoring into the realm of art now and then :)

I couldnt agree more.....

Thank you Rick! Magnetic..it is not a personal attack on sahko...just a genuine critique of his "work". Seems he wants the general population of the world to appreciate his work and be accepted by the mainstream, which is fine if that is all you want. Other photographers here want to please themselves...and if just one other person appreciates a photo, a job well done! Sahko is bent on impressing everyone with "general" photograhy which everyone likes....I, on the other hand think I create emotion and thought along with the photo.

Stewan,

I have not seen a place where sahko has publically slammed you. So could you please refrain from doing the same?

Thanks

Thanks Naz.....:)

Magnetic you have made your point...no reason to repeat youself again. Sahko is very subtle about attacking others..read between the lines...

To all:

If one has a problem with a specific user, please PM the admins or site council, rather than taking it onto the public forums. Otherwise, please have your discussion off-site.

Thanks.

Stewan,
isn't purpose of the challenge to try to take a photo, that will majority of user like and acording to it vote high? It's called DPChallenge and not DPVeryDifficultToUnderstadArt! I know my photos in portfolio can be more mainstream than art, but as you can see on your score, that kind of art isn't much aprecciated by users of dpchallenge.

Magnetic,
of course you did not see any place where I slammed Stewan, because I didn't. Not even in PM. I only wrote him a comment (and that is anonymous) that the photo has low quality. And Stewan obviously isn't ready to accept negative comment.
