I am hard pressed to discover work by anyone that is accalimed and renowned which is not based on diligent attention and dedication to practice of the craft regardless of the craft or who is intended as an audience. |
Yes, yes, yes! - humility in light of that which is larger than us, i.e. nature, including our own.
"...man is himself an object, whatever he may take to be his advantages, the more likely to recognize himself as such the greater his advantages, particularly at the moment that he achieves an humilitas sufficient to make him of use." Charles Olson

[aside] If all you are concerned with is scoring high in the challenges, you must not paint with your camera. The voting public is very fickle and rewards the large 1/2 to 1/3 of the entire viewing area subject. Do not attempt to use your camera and see paintings- it will not work. no impressionist photography. Realism please, ma'am.
but what do I know. |

I've just posted my first challenge, and I can see I made a big mistake in putting what I thought was a fairly "artsy" pic. After spending more time on the site, I'm seeing that the tendency is certainly toward technical quality being rate very high. That's great, now I know.
Artistic quality is perhaps more subjective also, I'll be sure to focus on the technical for my next effort. |
