I didn't read Wayne's comment as being necessarily negative (though it certainly is open to more explication). This picture, with its almost abstract subject and strong composition, has much more of a traditional "fine art" sensibility to it than most of the other posts. (I don't know which ones he's actually seen).(posted 8671 days ago)Most of the posts here have been (following the theme of the forum) more along the lines of photojournalistism, portraiture, or what I'd call photo viriti (which is the term I'd use for your photos, Jeff). Of course, I think that categorizing like this has a number of limitations, but it does provide a frame of reference for discussing themes and techniques.
