The Photo Below Me (2)

[BillsBayou]

Here's a little game that might get kicked off the board, but it's an experiment in photography and posting, so I thought it might fit here on this corner of POTN.

Rules are simple: We critique a photo we haven't seen and the next person to post will post that photo with a critique of the photo below them.

NEW RULE FOR THE THREAD!!! (8/24/2006)
El General Moderator, Pekka, has posted the following to this thread:
Guys, please do not use this thread as chat room. Go on with the contest, keep in topic!
Now behave.

Usual POTN rules apply; especially, and to the point of this thead, the photo must be your own.

The Photo Below Me... Has excellent bokeh.

I do not get it, most of the photos here do not have anything to do with the photo above them, there is no critque going on. I am sorry if I am wrong, but what I am missing

[thomascanty]

I do not get it, most of the photos here do not have anything to do with the photo above them, there is no critque going on. I am sorry if I am wrong, but what I am missing

They're only supposed to fulfill the request that went with the post above them, not have anything to do with the photo itself. F'rinstance, when someone posts a picture, they have to request some element that will appear in the photo below them (like, maybe a sunset). Then someone else has to come along and fill that request (ie: post a sunset photo) and make a new request.

And, critiquing isn't really allowed. It's a game thread, and comments are frowned upon. We've been known to be reprimanded for getting too chatty in this thread, and that's why the TPBM chat thread was created over in General Chat. Comments go in there, not here.

I have always pestered people when they have small dogs and they dress them, laugh my fool head off.

Why was it then, after holding this dog, I felt the urge to go to PetSMart and hand them my debit card.???..we have three outfits now:o

Wow Sam!

[slartibardfast]

awesome pic there Sam

Andy

[S.Horton]

Thx -- :D;)

[nadder-diary]

Well, the story is ongoing. Suffice to say that I now get the chance to explore some of Britain's finest landscapes and buildings, and get paid for the the priveledge. I also get to carry a camera and am allowed to take photo's in many places that are closed to the public (no flash though!). I'm not employed as a photographer, so am not making money from my passion (yet) but I am finding myself in position where I can take photos during my day job, which surely has to help my skill and desire to at least make photography self fund a little!

Photo was taken at Tyntesfield House, outside of Bristol, England. A stunning Victorian Gothic house, in pretty much it's original state.
