A title should be a vehicle for helping the viewer understand what the photographer was trying to capture or create, it can be factual, evocative, emotional, humerous, observational. . . so many things, but if a title is used it becomes part of the intrinsic viewing experience of that picture.
I'm guessing you have picked up books or DVD's before and been encouraged or put off by the title ? |
Im not saying that it could put off people, I have a very avg title that neither helps nor hurts the shot in my own opinion, however I think its interesting that it was the only thing that the person could up with to leave a comment on the image for. I just saying literally its all the comment says. Not the shot is great, or the shot is horrible... Just the title is no good. |
On mine (again, Grey challenge), it literally stated "the title hurts this one" ... as if to say the image scored lower because of the title. I totally agree the title is contextual, and can even alter the viewers mood depending. But to vote a photograph higher or lower in a *photography* challenge because of the title, whether it's just a sh!tty title or even because it evokes unwanted emotion, is silly. |
With the way things go in here sometimes, it could be worse!
Here's a few examples:
This photo hurts your score.
I'd like this if....it were a different photo.
Love the framing, hate the shot.
I would have scored this an 8 or higher had you removed the photo and left the frame.
Your model reminds me of my mother and I hate her! 1
Looks like you didn't even try!
I really like this shot and I'd give you a higher score, but my standard score is a 2. :)
Your shot is outstanding, the technicals are brilliant, the colors are so vibrant. What is it?
The title distracts me.
Where's the apple? Oh, wait, this is the pet portrait challenge. 2 I don't see an apple. |
I see that my sense of humor has not hit funny bones anywhere so....I shall post my score as this is laughable.

Last time I got a fave on this low a score....I looked after the challenge to find out who had faved my shot, ever so thankful and excited....only to find that the member had FAVED practically the ENTIRE bunch in the challenge! LOL Kind of a bit of pin in my bubble of thrill.
I hope this fave isn't the same thing. I'd like to hang onto some form of enthusiasm and hope. |

Gratz on the fav.
Stats:

Ugh! Not a good comment rate from me....just too many things to do offline. I will see about dropping a few more long comments later this weekend.

DAILY THOUGHTS FROM DOGS AND CATS
From a Dog's Diary:
8:00 am - Dog food! My favorite thing!
9:30 am - A car ride! My favorite thing!
9:40 am - A walk in the park! My favorite thing!
10:30 am - Got rubbed and petted! My favorite thing!
12:00 pm - Lunch! My favorite thing!
1:00 pm - Played in the yard! My favorite thing!
3:00 pm - Wagged my tail! My favorite thing!
5:00 pm - Milk bones! My favorite thing!
7:00 pm - Got to play ball! My favorite thing!
8:00 pm - Wow! Watched TV with the people! My favorite thing!
11:00 pm - Sleeping on the bed! My favorite thing!
Excerpts from a Cat's Diary:
Day 683 of my captivity:
My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects.
They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I are fed hash
or some sort of dry nuggets. Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear,
I nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my strength.
The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape.
In an attempt to disgust them, I once again vomit on the floor.
Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet.
I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly demonstrates
of what I am capable. However, they merely made condescending comments about what
a "good little hunter" I am. The audacity!
------------------
I just got this in a fwd.
thought it fit in here. |

Aaargh ! the front page says there are 4 days left . . I thought it ended sooner.
Anyone out there got a 7+ score ?
Or a near 7 score ?
Someone must have - pets tend to score highly.

Well, I've watched this slowly fall all day. Not the best shot I've ever taken, and certainly not the best in the challenge, but I really thought it was better than this. Oh well....

I'm not a 7 but I'm way closer than I've been in a long, long time which I'm totally excited about. There are some great images and I won't ribbon, but I'm just very content with my score :)

Good score Nicole - I suspect you will easily make front page if you stay there . .
methinks bassbone, JaimeVinas, [user]Paulbtw[/user], and Judi are keeping a very low profile on their scores as well . .
Are any of you guys around 7 ? Lot's of 5's have declared - let's enjoy both ends of the spectrum
:- ) |
What's a 7?????

I was very close at one point, but have been falling a bit the last 2 days. Certainly not complaining though.
