She very effectively brought me "in". Wanting to know more. I disagree with you that art is supposed to make us think. When I look at your pics with windswept grassy fields, I don't think. I just "feel" as if I were there. That's why I enjoy seeing them. That is to narrow I guess, art should create some sort of response, what you discribe is an emotional response. Thinking is alao a response, both our feelings and our thoughts take place in the brain, so art causes the brain to respond in some way. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When left to our own devices to interpret some of theses photos, I'm not surprised to find we each see something different. We aren't even given a title or a clue. Of course, I am more than happy to have my own interpretation of what I see, but I also want to know the photographer's intent. What did they want us to see? Where is my eye drawn? What does that expression on the avatars face mean? What am I failing to see? It took me an embarrassingly long time to even notice that the shadow at the front of @Scylla Rhiadra last photo was a person. My eye only saw the lit up avatar looking down. I didn't see a diner or a second person. When I did recognize the shadow in the foreground as a person, it changed the photo entirely, of course. Whatever you're in trouble for, Scylla, just apologize and move on. Getting lectured sucks. BUT, I suspect (fear?) that @Madelaine McMasters interpretation is truth 😛 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinnamon Mistwood Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say because it's a SecondLife forum for sharing pics of your avatar and those are pictures of her avatar. She's such a rebel for staying on topic like that. Did you have a photo to share? 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually reach for the shadows/highlights setting in Gimp first before filtering my shots *not necessarily 500 filters but I'll try on at least a dozen before settling LOL. my faves usually are the cartoon, saturation, oily or film noise/scratch stuff. and of course b&w when all else fails. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
