Hay guys just a quick question. how well do artsy pictures do in challenges.
07/04/2004 08:26:46 PM · #2
BADLY!!!!!!!!!!!!! But I score many of them high -- and I hope others submit ones that they really enjoy themselves, regardless of how it scores. Good luck!!

They usually score as good as cats do.

...of course, a lot depends on what the definition of artsy is and what mood the voters as a whole are in at that moment... but Kylie and pcody are right...usually not very well. I like to look at them, but I'm not much of an artsy person myself.

Cool. I'll just let my cat take the pictures from now on. ;-)

They, artsy pictures, the subject of the question, usually receive the same score as a picture of a cat does.
But thanks for the suggestion. Now how can I tape his little paw to the shutter? It would be safer to use the cable release.

Oh, THAT'S what you meant!

;-P

LOL

How well...

My worst challenge in my last 30 was an 'artsy' "meaning" shot.

Translation: dpc thinks art is just out of focus, poorly composed or "of nothing."

Artsy can mean a lot of things, but in my experience (not just my own work but in following those 'artsier' shots that I really like) they don't go over well. I had a variety of 'artsty' shots I had in mind for the June challenge but I just chickened out and chose something with a more popular subject.

Here are some of my rejects:











Not that I'm doing all that great in the June challenge anyway. Just my usual range--currently at 4.6870. I'm doing better in Color Portrait--5.4100. My Purple entry is a tad artsy.

What do you mean by artsy? If it's a nice interpretation of colors and shapes and pleasing to the eye, it'll do good. If it's a random bundle of crap, it won't do well.

my idea of artsy...

look closely.

Artsy and deep (as in thought) go hand in hand. They don't do to well here, this is more of a technical "how'd they do that" place where people try to figure out how one did the shot as opposed to why. Unless of course it is a cat.

Hmmm.. Either it's a fuzzy, artsy shot of Yetti, or it's "a random bundle of crap"...

I think it's an alien. Am I right?

It's interesting, but I think since most people can't figure it out in a few minutes, they are frustrated and give it a low score. Can't be too artsy, it has to be a simple and elegant type of emotive art.

Tell us what this picture is!!!

Is it someone standing on their head in someone else's field?
07/04/2004 11:45:18 PM · #16
It's a cow...a little black moo cow.
07/04/2004 11:48:06 PM · #17
I personally think calling a photo artsy is ridiculous and annoying.

But that's just my opinion. Just wanted to mention it.
07/04/2004 11:49:59 PM · #18
so if you have to look at it, it's crap eh?
the fence is in focus, and that is a boundry for me, and the cows can't get out...

look again...


07/04/2004 11:51:34 PM · #19
i would agree, but i sort of see the point of the post


07/04/2004 11:56:49 PM · #20
This is probably one of my more 'artsy' shots. It got a 5.7 which is ok, I guess. It's still one of my favorite submissions, though.


07/05/2004 12:04:49 AM · #21
i think this would qualify as artsy. i was surprised it placed as well as it did.


07/05/2004 12:11:08 AM · #22
As the name implies there is a line and that one plant is oblivious to it, BLURRING the boundary. It has a foot in each camp so to speak. Kind of like me, some times I like artsy and sometimes I prefer the technician, but I enjoy it most where both meet.
07/05/2004 12:12:22 AM · #23
thanks ;}

07/05/2004 12:23:36 AM · #24
I would consider this artsy, and it looks like it did quite well.

07/05/2004 12:25:57 AM · #25
i would have to call that - terrible

sorry - in general her stuff is good.
