No problem, all the contrary. Maybe it will be easier with examples: I find some pictures 'beautiful', even without a context: http://liberman-family.com/boris/pics/Books/Israel%20by%20Boris/slides/IGP01863.html

Others are nice, mainly for the moment showed: http://liberman-family.com/boris/pics/Books/Israel%20by%20Boris/slides/IGP12896.html http://liberman-family.com/boris/pics/Books/Israel%20by%20Boris/slides/IGP12825.html And I find others more so-so... http://liberman-family.com/boris/pics/Books/Israel%20by%20Boris/slides/K5_00854.html Not bad but I prefer the following one and it is a bit redundant too. However, I am sure that a double page in a photo book with both pictures looks very nice (I am very used to see fruit trees in my home town though). http://liberman-family.com/boris/pics/Books/Israel%20by%20Boris/slides/K7_01676.html (This is for me a 'descriptive' picture, but not specially beautiful visually...maybe I am missing a joke with the traffic sign, then it will go to category 2 ;-) ) Another 'just' descriptive: http://liberman-family.com/boris/pics/Books/Israel%20by%20Boris/slides/K7_08307.html Also, the two 'desert' landscapes are interesting, but the light is too 'vertical', which for me makes them more descriptive than 'artistic' (I have to admit that this happens a lot to me when traveling and not being able to chose when to photograph) http://liberman-family.com/boris/pics/Books/Israel%20by%20Boris/slides/K7_11186.html http://liberman-family.com/boris/pics/Books/Israel%20by%20Boris/slides/K7_11154.html Other with a too 'normal' light: http://liberman-family.com/boris/pics/Books/Israel%20by%20Boris/slides/K7_11448.html http://liberman-family.com/boris/pics/Books/Israel%20by%20Boris/slides/IGP13978.html I hope that you get what I am trying to say. I admit that, how I said before, I am kind of used to some of the subjects shown so I need special light or point of view to get my attention. Honest and brutal, as you like to say... ;-) Regards, Jaume ----- Mensaje original ---- > De: Boris Liberman <bori...@gmail.com> > Para: Pentax-Discuss Mail List <pdml@pdml.net> > Enviado: mar,3 mayo, 2011 18:54 > Asunto: Re: A bit of a boast and my JAlbum book > > On Tue, May 3, 2011 at 7:48 PM, Jaume Lahuerta <jlah...@yahoo.com> wrote: > > Some nice pictures there, Boris, thanks for sharing. > > Others are not that impressive if looked separately, but I understand > > that >they > > are part of the story that you want to tell with the whole book.
