I was just making the point that none of us knew the guy on the rock was there for a long time and Dan said that element was what made him take the photo.... whether or not the imageis nicely proportioned, good bokeh or whatever or just plain liked or not by others , until we were told by Dan what attracted him we couldn't tell from that photo.... we didn't have backstory. We dont' always show each other photos because they work for us -- sometimes its because we are uncertain, or it doesnt or we need suggestions to help make it work... but don't say it doesn't matter to the photographer whether it works for the viewers- at least one or more... Not everything speaks to everyone, but there really is no point sharing a photo if you don't care at all what others think of it... ann On 2/5/2016 12:00 AM, Daniel J.
