Bravo...hip hip horray! Alright, way to go...yeah! Yea buddy...this is what it's all about! You hit the nail on the head! Perfect...to me, it's meeting the challenge first above anything else - that's where I start: at a 5. Then from there I give more or less points for photo quality, difficulty of photograph, edit and lastly, I try not to judge the subject by my personal interest in it. I also pay attention to the title - if it's 'Art' then tell me where there is an artist that does not carefully name their work? I feel in this challenge, the rules are SPECIFIC...rule of thirds...plural...not third...singular. Juding by your title...I think you also feel strongly about this. From reading some of the forum threads, I feel I may be one of the 'DPC Nazis' - however, if I really, really like a photo, I give it a break. In your photo...however boring (I think) the subject is...everything about it is totally perfect for this challenge. It should be used as an example for future reference. I hope you win the blue! 10 This!
Well, obviously meets the challenge! Well done making this POTentially boring subject quite interesting. I love the texture of the tiles and the diagonal lines of the shadows.
You sure those lines are even, I'm thinking DNMC...
...or not. This isn't the most exciting picture in the world (just a pot), but I'm going to give you a higher score for the title and for the bold statement. The sets of lines are actually fairly interesting in a way.
