I was busy voting on the other challenge. It's never over till it's over, right?

Good point on the perception thing. I don't always put a comment with my 1's, because I feel like I'll get burned for it. But making it clear that this is how I see it somewhat alleviates that. So, I just went in the Sound voting and commented on my DNMC votes.
BTW, I too agree with Larry and Wendy that there are a number of shots which just didn't seem to fit. |
I'll always comment if I give out a DNMC. I also don't give really low votes for DNMC unless it's an incredibly blatant attempt to completely avoid the challenge. It seems like dropping them 4, 5 or more points it awfully harsh, just because I might not get what they're trying to say. Imo, it's more like a technical problem. I'm not going to give a 1 or 2 just because a photo's not technically perfect, so why give a 1 or 2 because meeting the challenge isn't technically perfect? If it's blatantly ridiculous, that's one thing. If an attempt was made, just not made well, that's another.

Lots of photos are failing to convey sound to me. Therefore I am marking them as a DNMC. Whether the photographer believes otherwise is immaterial really, as it's my vote, and I'll vote on how I perceive the image. If my perception is flawed so be it. If we all voted the same way, challenges would be very boring. It's good and natural that each viewer will get/take something different from an image.
In the Chalk challenge, I was 1 of 4 people to give a 7 to the brown ribbon winner. So what do I know?! :-) |
Did ya comment on the DNMCs to communicate your opinion? Might make people happier if they understood the potential 1 they received. |

Better than when last I posted.
Alas, it's currently the first one in a good while that is under my average received vote.
Good comments. I didn't notice something that I probably could have fixed with advanced editing. Don't think the changes would have supplemented the score too much better, but I still wish I noticed 'em!

Girl! I spell so badly and have so many typos I rarely notice anything like that!
Quite is to a sound! ;-)

I guess it just depends on your definition of sound. I always thought sound was anything you could hear; no matter how loud or soft. There is sound in a libary, there is sound during a moment of silence, there is a graveyard.... |
I don't particularly care about the strength of the sound. There is sound in a library if there are people in it, flipping pages, taking books off shelves, even moving around. But in an empty library, there is no sound, unless you're assuming that there's a loud air conditioner, but right now, most of the buildings around here have neither heat nor air conditioning running, simply because it's that time of year where the inside temp doesn't kick on the heat or air (and it gets stuffy.) |
just noticed my typo it should say there is sound in a graveyard ;-)
OK....so your saying there has to be people in the libarary in order for there to be sound? (excluding the air/heater issue) That leads me to ask the question....if a tree falls in the forest and there is no one to hear it, does it make a sound? |
lol. yup -- I'm of the opinion that it makes a sound, even though, technically, by definition it doesn't.
However, something has to make a sound. If there's a mouse in the library, it makes a sound, but I'm not going to assume that there's a mouse if I can't see it. If a book is precariously placed and falls on its own, it makes a sound, but I'm not going to assume that it's happening if I don't see it. If I see computers in the library, I'll assume that the fan is running, and yes, that's making a sound. But if I don't see anything in the library that's even remotely possible of making a sound without someone or something working with it, the picture's not going to convey sound to me unless that someone or something is there.
We're probably getting too detailed in our discussion, but I'd be happy to take it off-line. |
yeah, pretty detailed I reckon....just picking your brain :-)
so what I'm getting from you is....you don't think "quite" or "silence" is a sound? |
Quite is definitely not a sound :)
Nope - silence is lack of sound. Dictionary definition of silence: "Silence is the relative or total lack of audible sound." |
OK, if you wanna go by the dictionary! :-)
(but I think quite/silence is a sound) lol |
I just want to quote the big quote ...

I actually love to listen the silence, so you can ear ... the lack of sound.
If there is a color challenge and your entry is B&W ... does the lack of color gives color to the picture ? :D |
