A photograph is usually looked at - seldom looked into. ~ Ansel Adams
I really understand this quote. I participate in many online photography clubs and forums with some really excellent images on display, but they are missing one thing. A picture of a bird is great , sharp colourful with great composition and lighting....that's fine but the photographer titles it "Yellow Bird". Its is of my opinion that to take really great images you need to know what and or who you are taking a picture of. Landscapes, flowers and any image imaginable require some understanding of their existences or reason. If you capture an image of something unknown, don't you want to know?...I do!
p.s The "Yellow Bird" was a Yellow Warbler...how hard was that ?
There is more to the image than meets the eye.
