I think you will get hammered for that in voting. The description doesn't really leave room for interpretation.

Use a door that has a window in it or put some makeshift curtains in front of the door opening and crop as necessary.

I am of the opinion that... doors can have windows in them and that Ken is weird.

:D

I wouldn't consider an open door by itself as meeting the challenge ... if the door has a window in it, then yes, that would certainly be a valid window.

I'm preparing a sledgehammer for you :)

a door is a door and a window is a window. I don't think there is much confusion about it. A glass door can function as a window, but it's still a door.

Open to a little interpretation. Many doors do have windows in them. I would look at the way the shot is framed to decide if it was a picture of a door, or the window that is mounted in the door. Some people certainly would drop some pointage for it.

If it is a strong enough image, then I say go for it. Visual appeal counts for more here than nailing the topic description perfectly.

The problem is, he's proud of it and you are only encouraging him.

I am of the opinion sliding doors ( ranchsliders ) are windows on steriods, the challege description does not give measurements on window size or type .

Sticking to the topic is important to me. In this case, the challenge is to come up with a "framed view".
So as long as that happens, I wouldn't care which hole-in-a-wall you decide to use.

well, to throw another nuance, this challenge states the shot should be "taken FROM a window" ... in past similar challenges, a number of top entries were outside looking in, whuch to me is DNMC based on the challenge wording. just sayin'

A window has two sides, right? It does not say it has to be taken from the INSIDE of a window, right?

Personally, based on the description I would give a 1 to any photo that was looking thru a door opening. Now, if it was thru a window in the door that would be different. To me a window is designed to let light in as well as allow people to look out or in. A door is designed to let humans or animals or other things thru them. Just my personal opinion.

windows of opportunity are closing fast.

That's my interpetation. From a window can be looking in. It could also be a window that is completely inside the building. I would also find it ok if a person were carrying a lone window, as long as the main subject is being viewed through the window.

Narrowing the challenge description after 14 days is not cool. Guess I should delete my entry because my interpretation now seems "wrong".
05/14/2017 10:35:20 PM · #19
hey, i'm fine with anything, but fwiw the description actually says "from a window"
(eta: as mef already pointed out earlier in this thread)

No one narrowed the challenge description. The description is what it is and everyone has their own interpretation of that description and that is what this thread is about, how each of us interpreted that description. If your interpretation was different there is nothing wrong with that and it may or may not result in lower scores. One thing I have learned here is it's best to stick to the most narrow interpretation of the description.

Very sad for DPC. It would be better if thinking outside-of-the-box and general creativity were encouraged and rewarded. As it is, if one does not "groupthink", one will be punished by voters here. Furthermore, with a two week submission period, what was a good idea in the early part of the submission phase can be made "out of favor" by a forum discussion thread by a small group promoting their own concept of the challenge. I'll get over it, but this site is not a friendly place.

Yeah ... usually they (SC) lock these type of forum discussions down once the voting kicks in. Wonder how long this one will stay up?

shhhh! Big Brother is watching! ;-)

For what it's worth, I think the case can be made that during the submission phase discussions like this one ENCOURAGE a broader view and will result in broader acceptance of diverse interpretations. However, it's time to shut it down now...
