No way it could be stated any better, Frank.
Their not having anticipating a volume crunch is, however, hard to
imagine. Could be they consider "accepted artist" voting a handy
explanation..if needed.
When 'proven' laudable work is summarily declined, incentive wanes.

Strange.
I really thought that you were rather competitive person, Cotty. I am
fairly competitive, but in photography I don't feel any desire to prove
anything. So I don't really participate in competitions...

A picture that pleases because it's attractive can be a good picture.
As I said, it's certainly not the only path to solid and rewarding
visual communication, but it's one path. One of many. In any artistic

the goal.

> What is "sheer beauty"?
Perhaps the real question is "what's beauty got to do with it?"
Lord knows, I take more than my share ugly photos that I think are
none-the-less good. As to whether they're art, I'll leave to someone
else to decide

In the Australian outback, I believe it refers to an unusually

The logic of your statement is that there is no definition of art, or
beauty, that is not entirely subjective.
Is that qualitative judgment, "in the eye of the beholder", a product
of nature or nurture?

Good pictures come in all shapes and sizes. Sometimes it's the compositon that
makes a shot memorable. But a fascinating subject can achieve that as well. And
of course sheer beauty is always worth a second look. In truth, there is no
single, narrow definition.

The question you posed is indeed "What is a good picture?" a sibling
to "What is art?" ...
Let the debate commence (again) !
