Rules & Prizes

For this next critique, we want to see more than just a pretty picture. We want to see photographs that exude emotion. As with many of these genre-based critiques, "emotion" will be open to interpretation but try to upload uniquely powerful images. Keep in mind that we want to feel something when we see your submission, and no, a pretty sunset won't cut it. 

Each photographer is allowed to submit up to 3 images. Please write a quick paragraph about how you created your shot so that we can discuss it in the live critique. The highest-rated image and one random image will win a free tutorial from the Fstoppers Store.

Almost no landscape photography so far. Strange cause good landscape can generate much more emotions than posed portrait.

I think the voting on this is going to be very polarised - some will see emotion easier in a particular genre while not see it in others. Personally I don’t get much emotion from landscape photography so would rather see more people photos in this one.

Aye. Seems a tad subjective. It's like someone who really likes cars say that cars evoke much more emotion than a person showing emotions :p When I saw a landscape photo here I was honestly a bit like "..really? I mean, it's a nice photo, but..."

Emotion is totally subjective. The image should trigger that emotional response.
