Herb's comment was "a photo that won't sell has not passed tests of composition, exposure and originality".
Composition, at least, is an aesthetic criterion, not a commercial one. Originality and exposure are not commercial criteria either. One is technical, the other is historical. Commercial quality really has nothing to do with any of the 3 factors that Herb mentioned. The statement also clearly implies that the only way to test these criteria is to see if the photo sells, which is horseshit of the first order. -- Cheers, Bob > > > > It must be a very bleak experience to inhabit a mind that > thinks sales are > > a > > measure of aesthetic quality. > > I think it's more a measure of commercial quality. > Why is this criteria any less valid than any other? >
