could never understand the concept of N/W. Why, what is wrong with being able to comment on a photo

The reason you can't understand the concept of No Words is that you're thinking about it from the wrong perspective.

 

Why do you assume that No Words implies there's something wrong with being able to comment on a photo? There's nothing wrong with being able to comment on a photo. Everywhere else on this site, except No Words, is geared toward commenting on photos.

 

Think about it this way, there's a Street and Documentary Forum, right? That forum doesn't tell us there's something wrong with Still Life photos or Landscapes. It tells us it's not the place for them. There are also black and white forums. Those forums don't suggest that there's something wrong with color. It's just a place reserved for black and white.

 

The No Words forum is simply a unique exercise that people enjoy. I think about it as a picture conversation. I don't think it means there's something wrong with commenting on a photo.

"I'm intrigued by Jon's photo, the lit doll, casting an involving shadow, all happening outside the confines of what I take to be a picture frame. Nice work with artificiality in layers" Sam

 

Interesting thoughts and constructive, Sam

 

Nice to be able to comment on a photo and offer constructive thoughts ;))

is this for photos taken 'this' week ?

Photo of the Week - that’s all you’re getting - dare to allow yourself to interpret that how you may -

when does the week start

Whenever you want it to.

should this be included in the thread title ?

No. The title is Photo of the Week. That’s it! :)

We have heard the axiom the "A picture is worth a thousands words" … very nice to not have a ton of text with the posting.

Er … the extremely popular and lively No Words forum is all about that. Are you so disabused of words that a thread like this that allows them is a threat to your axiomatic silence? Here’s an opportunity to say a few words to each other about your work and, instead, y’all recede to the shelter of your comfort zone, tossing up pics and doling out likes with no further interaction. Nice try, Michael and Walt, but you can’t get blood out of stones.

And while we're at it we should reinstate POTD, POTM, and eliminate that one a day 24 hour rule. What are there, about 25 of us left! I've had photos deleted by the moderators because only 23 hours had elapsed. Ok, maybe a slight exaggeration, but why reject something that may increase traffic here.
