Originally posted by smardaz: some people hate the term "shoehorn" but some shots are just that. I think when you have to kind of bludgeon the viewer over the head with the title, thats the first indicator. its a nice shot that stands on its own, but does not evoke the feeling of work for me. |
Thanks for the feedback. I totally see what you are saying about the shoehorn thing, and that will help me with my next challenges. However, I feel it is better to have an image that is not so obvious, can be interpreted in different ways, and has a tittle which illustrates the photographer's own point of view of the challenge. Rather than having a picture that itself bludgeons the viewer over the head with work symbols such as hammers, nails, and men doing construction. I guess that is why the winners did neither symbol nor tittle bludgeoning :-). |
