Agneau du printemps-Spring Lamb

C’est Pâques demain et, je croyais approprié de vous présenter un gros plan de celui qui, depuis longtemps et dans beaucoup de religions, sera sacrifié pour le repas pascal. Le Québec est un fournisseur important d’agneaux du printemps et rivalise même avec la Nouvelle-Zélande.

It’s Easter tomorrow and I thought was appropriate to present you a closeup of one that, for a long time and in many religions, will be sacrificed for the Passover meal. Quebec is a leading provider of spring lambs and even rivals New Zealand.

Image Opinions – Judges vs. Viewer Comparisons

Ma photo est la 7e du haut-My picture is the 7th from the top.

Photography Improvement

Summary – Two recent posts showed three judges’ selections for awards as well as the choices of 50 viewers. See how they compare.


Not surprisingly,  judges and « ordinary » viewers

Don’t necessarily have the same tastes when choosing images

Heck – even judges disagree with one another (ditto viewers)

I noted some favoritism in the viewers’ votes – expected I guess

.

Below are examples from the two sets of selections

Eleven selections each by judges and by viewers

1st: Images chosen by both judges & viewers

(These represent 10% of the total entries)

2nd: Chosen only by judges

3rd: Chosen only by viewers

.

There was even one image chosen

Only by a single judge (the most experienced) and zero viewers

Texture végétale-Vegetal texture

Une texture est un genre photographique qui permet beaucoup de liberté car il s’agit d’utiliser des contrastes de tonalités ou de couleurs agençant ainsi les lignes et les courbes. Normalement, le cadre doit être rempli sans laisser d’espaces vides. Cependant, on utilise souvent des patterns d’un ou plusieurs motifs et parfois, on brise le motif en insérant un objet judicieusement placé selon les règles de la composition. Ici les plantes sont agencées par groupe et forment différents motifs naturels.

A texture is a photographic genre that allows a lot of freedom because it is using contrasts of tones or colors thus arranging the lines and curves. Normally, the frame should be filled without leaving any void spaces. However, we often use patterns of one or more units and sometimes breaks the pattern by inserting an object conveniently placed according to the rules of composition. Here the plants are arranged in groups to form various natural patterns.
