He was lurking in the shadow. With his light sabre raised above his

head. I could not resist to take a fast snapshot. A true candid.

simple and a good result! I like your series about pipes. I can't understand the originality rates other people give to you, who else would be able to make old pipes look so beautyful!? just go on...

Thanks for a good word.

 

I do not want to pose here as a super original photographer that is underestimated or anything like that. Far from it. I only want to make a general remark about photo.net rating and originality.

 

To be original in photography is a very difficult task. It becomes very obvious to anyone, even a laic, who enters photo.net - a few motifs keep repeating themselves day after day without end. Easiness to produce certain banal yet pleasing effects and photos is the source of this weakness in the art of photography. So most effort comes not in the search for originality but for the mastery of a standard theme/motif/subject. But the other thing is that many people evidently do not understand the very meaning of the word 'originality' . If they do not like the photograph, they rate 'originality' similarly to 'aesthetics'. Let's check it out - see ? - in 99% of ratings in all photos on photo.net there is NO difference between 'aesthetics' rate and 'originality' rate or the difference is small. Second proof comes from the fact that obviously not original photographs like yet another average vista from a mountain top or yet another sunset, or yet another bare tits (hundreds of them every week) is rated the same as a photograph that is unique, truly original - nothing similar to it in a month or longer.

Thanks for your response (and also for the very interesting comments about one of my pictures).

I think you're right...

Just go on being different and original, it's always more interesting (even if the more original you are, the less people will like it). I really like your photos.

For my own I try sometimes to be original, so that means also that I am quite alone to like very much the result, what do you think of my series of rock art?:
