By the way, I will not be available Saturday am to do a tally. And I have reason to think that neither will Bob baatfam.
So if anybody else is available, don’t be waiting for me to do it.

ill vote for Jedz...great shot and creative.
Something I've taken, something I believe is perfect, a picture I love, and yet no one feels quite the same way.
I believe it comes down to "the story" you are trying to tell.
Often I love a picture because I was there, and know the story.
Looking at it, makes me feel what I felt when I took it.
But is the photo telling the story as I remember it, or telling a story at all?
I often don't do a good job of telling the story, and viewers don't feel what I felt, if they feel anything at all.
So I try to look at my photos critically, forgetting what I remember, and look at what the photo is really saying.
Sometimes, it doesn't say anything at all, it just looks good.

My lady and I are going on 49 years together, and she rarely rides with me. I have a ride if you need one.

Yeah. Got that. I’d imagine it’s about as comfortable and supportive as it gets for this type of bike. She’s not uncomfortable on it, it’s just not her thing. Maybe it will never be. I’ll keep trying.

What story is your photo telling?
Many times I have posted pictures in this very thread and elsewhere in internet land that I thought were wonderful only to get a cool, if any, response, and at times I've thrown a spitball at the wall, it sticks, and is well recieved. It occasionally causes me to question my work, but I consider a successful image as one that I enjoy looking at time and time again. Kind of like good music.
Contest format just throws in more variables and sometimes pits image quality against subject matter, but its all in good fun as far as this thread is concerned.
My entry this week was a perfect example- I absolutely love it - the moon, its glint shining off of the leading edge of the windscreen, the transparency thru the screen showing its curve and shape, the muted ambient lighting, and reflections on the water, etc, etc, etc. It did, however, stray from, or minimally include the subject at hand. Ironically, I used it this week fully anticipating that it wouldn't get a lot of love. I'm cool with that and in my mind its still one of my favorites. It was during that session that I realized that my new camera has great potential to allow me to capure some goodness....
Photography is art. Art is subjective.

It is one of the main reasons I am very, very impressed by anyone who makes a living as a photographer, or any kind of artist, for that matter.
