Portrait? Nice sunset though...

I really like this image, but I don't consider this a portrait. One could argue that it is a portrait of nature, but I feel that is not what the Challenge intended. I think this would probably do rather well in the Free Study, but here I don't think it fits. I'm scoring it low for that reason only, but it is a lovely sunset shot. :-)

wrong challenge entry? too bad - lovely shot.

ha ha...

not a portrait
07/23/2007 07:49:34 PM
Portrait???
07/23/2007 07:22:23 PM
Not really a portrait
07/23/2007 07:22:05 PM
Your pic is amazing, really good! But, is this a portrait?
07/23/2007 01:25:38 PM
Not really a portrait, I think. But a very nice photograph. Particularly love the look of the water.
07/23/2007 09:25:44 AM
portrait??? nice image, but not for this challenge :-(
07/22/2007 04:45:42 PM
I urge you to put someone in the picture...
07/22/2007 12:06:50 PM
gorgeous picture but not a portrait - DNMC
07/22/2007 12:05:09 PM
This is a beautiful picture, but I don't feel that it is a portrait.
07/21/2007 01:15:33 AM
Although sunsets are natural light, I would expect a "portrait" to display something more distinctive about the personality or character of the subject.
07/21/2007 12:53:51 AM
Beautiful picture, but hardly a portrait other than orientation and natural lighting. Maybe you were trying to push the definition, but I fear your score will be adversely affected. Still I'll give you a 6 for this shot. It would have been higher if I felt it met the challenge. I saw a beautiful firey cloud sunset over a boat harbor a week or so ago, but alas had no camera.

beautiful shot but not a portrait...at least imo
07/20/2007 08:43:42 AM
That water looks like velvet, and the sky is certainly not boring.
I've had a think to myself about landscape shots in this challenge, and basically as i see it this shot is a portrait of natural light, so fits perfectly.
Nice shot.

portait?
07/19/2007 12:47:06 PM

Not a portrait.
07/18/2007 05:22:21 PM
Portrait?
07/18/2007 05:10:25 PM
You're pushing the envelope! This is a landscape, not a portrait.
07/18/2007 05:05:16 PM
Well, I dont know what an unnatural sunset would be:P
07/18/2007 04:34:30 PM
Incredible photo... but it is not a portrait???
07/18/2007 02:49:21 PM
Stunning shot...but hardly a portrait.
07/18/2007 02:19:48 PM
Not a portrait!
07/18/2007 01:31:18 PM
nice pic, but plainly doesn't work for the challenge.
07/18/2007 12:48:32 PM
Wow! terrific shot. But is it a portrait?
07/18/2007 12:01:20 PM
This is one great image, but when I looked up the meaning of portrait it said "of a person" just because alot of people are knit pickey here, I am not saying DNMC, this will probably score better than my image of a person, I really love the colors and all the detail to it. I will have to score this a 6 just because of the quality and great work. Please correct me if I am wrong in the meaning of portrait.
07/18/2007 11:47:04 AM
Technically within the spirit of the challenge and a great shot...but man this is pushing it outside the box...but off the table...lol.
07/18/2007 10:27:38 AM
IMO DNMC this is obviously a landscape even though it is nicely captured.
07/18/2007 08:31:23 AM
I'm sorry this is a nice picture but it is not a portrait. Definition from the English dictionary

"a pictorial representation of a person usually showing the face"
07/18/2007 03:44:41 AM
Nice but um...its not a portrait. :(
07/18/2007 02:40:21 AM
Lovely shot...not a portrait
07/18/2007 12:56:22 AM
Portrait???? Hmmmmm
