Great work, jury. The discussion only lengthens and deepens with your efforts.
And wow, I only wish I had ever used "apercu" in a complete sentence... |

What a surprise ~ both the existence of this alternative fine arts jury, and the Honorable Mention my image received. Thank you for the HM and for all the work involved in doing this. Thanks also to Anita  Neat for her "shout out" of my image in this thread. I'm delighted and it makes me feel that the extra attention I have been paying to the PP of my images recently is paying off. |

Having “Second Honors” award from the jury was however a great surprise. Well appreciated.. and to be honest: really made my day! |
I know exactly how you feel. |

I'm absolutely delighted to discover that there was an alternative Fine Arts Jury. An essential part of contemporary fine art photography is that it is very diverse; there is little agreement about what constitutes fine art photography even among the practitioners. Having a second jury making awards and presenting their discussion emphasizes the diversity in the area.
I also appreciate receiving Fourth Honors for my image Measurement of a Woman. Thanks.

| I would like to thank the jury for undertaking the task of reviewing the submissions, this is the sort of guerilla DIY undertaking that is the best of the internet, and makes DPC fun. Another set of considered opinion, a varied viewpoint delivered with insight is always a good thing to have.Good work guys. |

| Oh John, how heartbreaking. You are the 11th person I know who has gone through that this month. As others have said, you gave each other years of love. |

The greatest pleasure for me then was that the picture succeeded in being noticed and appreciated in spite of its categorical contentiousness. I have no interest at all in producing a picture that everybody else (perhaps even anybody else) would immediately say they'd like to have produced. [/quote]

Thank you to the Alternate Jury for also selecting my Mekong picture for recognition and, more significantly, for discussion.
I had hoped that the picture would elicit some controversy as to whether it was Fine Art, or even Art, and I was delighted that both juries embraced that challenge so splendidly and thoughtfully.
As I had said on the other jury's awards thread, if everyone agreed that a thing was Fine Art, or Art at all, then I would not as a photographer be satisfied to have produced it. I'd rather test the boundaries and fail than I would to have offered something unequivocally comforting.
So I chose this picture for the challenge in part because it was overtly both anti-photography and anti-art, at least at the first reaction level of most viewers.

As such, I had to serve as this group's  Melethia and ursula all rolled into one. Incredible pressure. Now I know who to blame... |

My condolences. Just remember, not only did she give you those years of pleasure and happiness but you gave them to her as well. |
