What is the significance of this photo?

Why in the world was this photo chosen to represent the 'photo of the week'- yikes... is there some sort of automatic choosing process that dictates what goes in as photo of the week?!

I would hope for better from a site named "photo.net" Why was this photo picked?

Is there something that I'm missing?

It must have been a slow month.

I see

Every other image in the folder is better than this one...can anyone explain what I'm missing here?

Personally, this photo does nothing for me. There are no qualities that intrest me about the person; the objects on the table clutter things up, as well as the not so inviting background.

 

I think that the photographer was going for the hard lines on the tablecloth and back wall, but they are the only characters in a story that needs a better plot.

his other photos are far better. i guess you need more than bots to choose photo of the week !!!

Incredible use of those fine Mamiya lenses!

Is this someone famous? That might explain it. Otherwise, it's a pretty poor choice.

 

At the risk of sounding redundant. Why was this picture chosen, to represent "photo of the week"?

I am sorry, but this looks like a mom taking her somewhat embarrassed sons picture. The other pics in the folders are better. I dont understand...

I think John uploaded the wrong photo and the number 70596 was confused with the REAL photo of the week. This photo has no reference to all his other photos.

Please explain how pics of the week are choosen. Maybe then I can understand why this pic.

The one good thing this picture does is make me really feel good about the ones I take myself which up until now I was feeling quite unsure about.

Now if this was actually confirmed as a picture of an extra-terrestrial in disguise, it would really make it interesting!

I think this probably means something special to the photographer and I think that is good photography.

I think the juxtaposition of the lines on the table and of the shadow is interesting too. Also, maybe the point is that good photographs are what you make of it and that common, seemingly uninteresting but personal photos are good photos too.

But since most comments have been, "Why in the world was this picked as Photo of the Week?", can whoever or whatever do the picking stop the suspense and tell us why?

No point in wasting the quality of the Mamiya 6 on this type of snapshot.

Nice use of pattern. Good photo.

OK, I second the emotion, stop the suspense and tell us why.

 

I am not criticizing the photo or the moderators. I just want to see the mystery unraveled.

Ansel Adams once said he hardest thing he had to learn about photography was when NOT to take a photo. This is one of those times.

The lines on the tables are not shadows, but not so obvious at first.

OK, enough said...

I don't get it either.

I just wanted to say this is a very bad photo, those shades do not suit her at all..

This was just a test to see if anyone was paying attention to comments on photo of the week. Thank you for your interest.
