In reply to the discussion: ***APRIL PHOTO CONTEST: THIRD PRELIMINARY THREAD*** [View all]Dark n Stormy Knight
(9,776 posts)41. Good points, and I actually agree with your take far more than I made clear.
I struggled with how to express what I meant. I knew "impressive technically" wasn't going to indicate exactly what I was trying to say. It was just the best I could come up with. No question there's a lot more that makes a photo "good."
Since it is a photo contest, even though it's a friendly little contest among friends, I try to and wish others would refrain from simply, "Oh look, a [fill-in-blank]! I love [fill-in-blank]s! I'm definitely choosing this one!"
Obviously, DUers are free to choose and vote in any way they like. Especially since, as far as I know, there aren't any suggestions from the contest sponsors on what qualities they'd like for voters to consider when voting.
