Thanks Dana, you sure have a colorful home! You know, an interesting or unusual subject can raise the wow-factor of your image, but does it automatically make good photography? We all like tigers, beautiful landscapes, glorious sunsets, amazing insect macros, or super tele bird shots, but is that per definition good photography? I have some pretty good shots of ordinary cows in an ordinary rural setting, but who's interested in that kind of stuff, when we all want to be wow-ed? I know there are some photographers here that don't care for the spectacular and keep on posting there bold and no-nonsense stuff, and I admire them for that, even if they don't get much response. Even when I browse through photography contest entries, I see many spectacular and fantastic shots, but most of them are not touching me at all... as they stand too far away from me. Actually, that was the topic I wanted to set up here... Anyone can capture an interesting subject, a gorgeous landscape or a beautiful sunset (as I did with my last series) and make a good picture from it, but is 'making a good picture' the same as good photography? Well, I know I didn't explain this all that well, but maybe some questions were raised to think and exchange opinions about...

We do not see things as they are. ǝɹɐ ǝʍ sɐ sƃuıɥʇ ǝǝs ǝʍ
