Do you mind if I copy them into my blog for the folks back home in Michigan, crediting "Billieblog"? Also, do you mind if I use them as part of a slide show presentation that my husband and I will do when we return to Michigan? Will also mention the charity.<br /><br />Judy Evans<br />Emmiegram@gmail.comEmmiegramhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17642974902535210976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11526678.post-66125313112366333962011-03-22T16:09:42.187-05:002011-03-22T16:09:42.187-05:00Yes, you have a way of photographing people. Great...Yes, you have a way of photographing people. Great photos of the chlidren.<br /><br />I agree completely with you and Steve. The rules do work, but simply following the "rules" does not mean you will make a good photos. And sometimes the best photos do not follow the rules.<br /><br />I just posted some photos and a little be of navel-gazing commentary. Then I was reading this post of yours. The result is that the photos I selected all follow the rules.

Your question is the correct one: Is it a good image? But the academic types were not happy leaving such an important point to mere subjectivity. They wanted to objectively know what made an image pleasing to the eye. After looking at pleasing images, they came up with the composition rules we are now taught in photography and art classes. <br /><br />But the rules are merely articulations of what our eyes can already judge: Is it a good image?<br /><br />The rules are well and good. But they still remain secondary to the primary question. We both have seen photographs that comply perfectly with the rules. But they were not good images.<br /><br />By the way. I just did the same thing. I launched into this discussion and completely missed commenting on what really matters. Your two photographs are not merely good images; they are great images.Steve Cottonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00468378507171761868noreply@blogger.com
