Pictorial - Colour

An example of the type of image within General.

Entry requirements:

Man-walking-dog


The object of pictorial photography is to produce a picture that arouses an emotional response in the viewer. The "WOW" factor, I would like to have that picture hanging on the wall reaction.

Emotions are not all pleasant: anger, greed, fear and despair are all emotions which can be aroused by a picture as well as pleasure, joy, nostalgia, etc. 		 Twistleton-Sunset

The intensity of the response is the primary criterion for judging the picture. Technical matters such as definition, exposure and contrast may (or in some cases may not) contribute to an overall effect, but they are secondary to the emotional response.
