Trying to achieve a relationship between what the title states and the

feeling that the photo creates. Thanks.

The presence of a child semi covered by the dense fog of the crisis and recession provides a strong alternative for our hearts.

Thank you Dimitri for this photo, because you are giving a lesson about what really is "Aisthitiki" Aesthetics. Many photographers (?), on this site, will think that this photo has "zero" aesthetics because it is over lighted, diffused, under contrasted etc etc....

 

BUT

 

this photo speaks to the soul and delivers its deep beauty to us. And that's Aesthetics !!

 

Regards, Marios

Marios speaks with experience of a well trained eye and visual emotions. He is right about the esthetics of this photograph. He is also right about the way some people see things. The 3/3 and 4/4s and 4/5s on this submission prove it. One hopes that there will be progress, and that by showing work like this and reading comments like Marios' some eyes will open, some minds will develop another notch. It is all worth it...

I have already started this discussion some time ago (check my "Morning mist" photo at

http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=7557542), and I have asked PN to stop anonymous ratings and encourage guys to give by name their 3/3, or 3/4 or 4/4 ratings (nothing wrong with that and we have to respect it !), BUT at the same time to justify them by comments, in order to help us correct our mistakes and make better photos, for the sake of this site. And this worked very successfully with this photo of mine, as you can realize if you review its comments. But the guys of PN have not respond so far..and I don't know why.

 

Anyway thank you for reviewing my thoughts on this subject, as well as I thank Dimitris for his hospitally here.

 

Best regards to both

A special thanks to you my dear friends for your comments and rates on this photo. The controversial issue of rates arose again and I think it would suffice to quote Josh Root who said in a forum thread on Oct 19th:"The ratings should not be considered a serious judgment of an image, but (as Bob Atkins frequently says) more of a popularity contest."

This is something that I would like to pound into everyone's head and something that will guide some upcoming changes. Ratings are there for fun, for a general guide of "do people like this", and for a popularity contest. The idea that photographers can learn anything from a set of numbers has to be eradicated. It is untrue and counterproductive.

"I think there truly are two groups of people, those who are here to have fun and play with the ratings, and those who want to learn and improve". Unquote. Many regards to all.
