<p>[quote user="henry6"]</p> <p>It is better for judging, to narrow down a reason for judging pictures. No theme is too wide open and there is no rhyme or reason to judge because there are no perameters, no way to compare one picture of another. A diesel coming out of a tunnel in a snow storm vs a steam engine crossing the Australian outback? Better to limit to steam or diesel or tunnels or snow or the Australian outback and do five competitions. Makes it more challenging for the photographer and easier for the judges. No themes makes it an aimless free for all.[/quote]</p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">So you are saying that the photos are judged according to how well they match the theme and by their technical and artistic merit besides?</span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">Or do they just have to be in the theme, in order to be judged by their technical and artistic merit? </span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">It can't be the former so it has to be the latter. But if it is the latter, what is the point of the theme? In other words, if you are not judging by the theme, what is the point of having one? </span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">If you are judging six photos for technical and artistic merit, why is it too wide open to judge if they are not connected by a theme? </span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">Even if the six are connected by a theme, they will all be radically different from each other. So I don't see how a theme simplifies judging. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;"> </span></p> <p> </p>
