Old Europe - more than ever: the best place to be!
News
::: Usually I don't comment on decisions of the gallery-directors. I know they don't have an easy job - and nothing is easier than criticising them. But today, when I saw this DD
I thought: WTF???Somehow I feel DDs should make people laugh, make them think, make them happy or sad, amaze them in a way by their message, composition, tonal quality, artistic merit. They should be good photography. We should not forget that DDs serve as an example for others.
But this one make me feel - nothing. It is a poorly composed oversharpened photo, shot at (f22??) too narrow f-stop, picturing a boring empty scene and is taken from a snapshot-gallery. This is no DD. No way.
Well, dA has survived many mistakes. It'll survive this one as well.
Sorry for the rant. But I am angry.
Luckily there is a lot of good photography around that is worth looking at. I believe the galery I am featuring today, is well worth a visit.
Have a wonderful day and a nice week, cheers!

Most certainly not something I'm thrilled about seeing getting a DD... I really do have to agree with your comments regarding the over sharpening... honestly though the composition is what makes me the most uncomfortable... it just doesn't sit well... I know, not a very cogent explanation... but that's me
On the other hand... seeing her reaction to getting the DD (her exchange with `Tepara in the comments and her journal)...
that almost made my day... I mean her excitement is so obvious, it's almost infectious. I feel sorta bad ragging on someone after seeing how very giddy that DD made them...
Also, statistically speaking... weekend DDs barely are seen compared to your weekday stuff... a little respite there as far as the masses seeing something like this on the front page, perhaps?
Anyway... that's just me rambling now.
