Nicest/strongest.

Hi Andy,

Thanks for that. For me there is a difference between nice and strong in photographs. It's where the objectivity/subjectivity/feelings come in, I suppose.
My 'Eye' and my 'Silent Witness' are doing very well in the stakes, and I do like the evil eye, but the silettos are pure documentary and not 'nice' if you know what I mean.

I cannot judge pictures on their technical qualities (unless they are very obviously bad), so for me it is whatever takes my fancy.
Of your pictures, I like the one with the horses best. Purely on 'feelings,' but I also like the 'Wow Fly' and the 'Press Start' photos, and several of the other ones.

Of Lion's photographs, it's the one with the sheep. Super Autumn I think it's called. This reminds me of Victorian paintings, yet again a pure matter of 'feeling.'

I wonder if anyone has ever done any research on how the different sexes react to photographs?

I am very glad I do not have to select photographs for inclusion in the shortlist! It would be a very different series of pictures than will emerge here in due time. I'm convinced of that!

Fingers crossed for 'The Email'!

Regards,

Reinardina.
