- Emotions can be invoked even by the most cliche photos of all - Much depends on the viewer and his own personal experience.
So now it's only a matter of 'numbers' - How MANY people are moved by your photo. On the other hand, those who win awards are those who capture a moment or have an impact. Funny photo/movie will always lose to a War movie or documentary because there is a priority of importance and impact.
Take your life as example. Funny situation will make you laugh for few minutes and improve your day. Maybe two days. Dramatic occurrence might change your life.
Ilan @ Wednesday, November 4th, 2009 - This is a stunning shot Mickey, and one could say it is full of drama due the colour of the sky and saturated colours and strong composition.
I enjoyed reading the conversation between you and Ilan, and with excellent points as to what is deemed more important. I guess it all comes down to priority, but regardless of what the media tells you, it's personal priority when it comes to how it makes one feel inside. I believe that no one (media especially) can dictate which is most important to any one of us.
This image would have looked and felt completely different had it been taken on a sunny bright day, but nonetheless, because of your composition, I feel it would have impacted this viewer equally.
Just my 2 cents :)
bluechameleon @ Wednesday, November 4th, 2009 - This is an awesome shot. Pretty nice lights in this picture, looks more like a painting than a photo.
Omar @ Wednesday, November 4th, 2009 - This is an interesting debate because I have always been more moved by "dark" photography rather than the jovial. But when the two have been fused together – a dark comedy if you will – I feel like such is my life.
I guess as humans, we are moved by that which may harm us, or change us, because it's these things that make us grow. Like when I look at this photo, the first feeling I got was an ominous one, perhaps I need to prepare the house for the oncoming tornado. That is a bit dramatic, but that is the emotion is ensues. When I see a happy photo I just smile and want to emulate it. There's no change. It's like there's this inherent gene in people that makes them reactive to plight, destruction, dilemma, etc. We may not always be thinking of the life-changing experiences, but they are perpetually resonating in us. This is why we feel the emotions we feel, or make decisions we make... I think that this is what makes us human, and even what makes life interesting.
Btw, great photo. I'm an aspiring documentarian; I think you've captured this scene in a way that truly engages the viewer. I feel like I'm there, or like I should run for cover.
jess @ Thursday, November 5th, 2009 - I personally love this image and I do enjoy landscape themes. I understand what you have written and the conversation between yourself and Ilan, but...I feel one should express themselves through their images as if they were telling their OWN story, not one that is out to win a prize.
I am not one to debate photography. I am not one to say there in any ONE way or the others. Personally, if I see a photo that might not be what I consider my "taste" in an image, I usually don't comment at all rather than voicing the WHY of WHY the image should not have been posted.
With all this being said, I love this image.
TammyWarren-Cricket from FB @ Sunday, November 8th, 2009 - Absolutely impressing colors. Fantastic landscape.
tom @ Friday, November 13th, 2009 - Perfect saturation and compositon
Best regards
Ali Bagherzadeh @ Monday, November 30th, 2009 - wonderful scene
dragos @ Tuesday, December 1st, 2009 - I personally love good landscapes, no matter how cliches. I just love nature and beauty. And your photo is great, I especially like the colours.
