Here is a part of the "grace" definition from www.dictionary.com
"Seemingly effortless beauty or charm of movement, form, or proportion"
Would you consider different shapes to be grace? I thought since form was part of the defintion, maybe shapes that are pleasing and soothing to the eye may be acceptable.
That was my first though when I saw the challenge. A soft folding in a curtain or the curve of a piece of ribbon expresses grace for me. Hey. And you don't need a model!
At this point, anything I see in the grace challenge, I'm voting on as meeting the challenge. Just way too broad of an interpretation for me. Everyone starts with a 5 and will only lose points if their picture is really dull or out of focus or ugly. Or of a cat. J/K. Sort of.
I guess I'll know it when I see it:) I think living things and inanimate objects can appear graceful. It'll be interesting to see what people will submit.
"Seemingly effortless beauty or charm of movement, form, or proportion"
I view this as one of several possible definitions, a good one at that. Etymologically, there is a wealth of visually appealing choices, from the L. gratus, which suggests an origin relating thankfulness to Skt. desire, yearning, most of which would be lost on those voting with prejudice.
It had better have some very nice curves!
Otherwise you will probably come out black and blue!
