A picture says a thousand words, and I add my two cents

Artistic Value

Photography: Sigma 10-20 by Franky2step

I have purposely not posted photos that I consider having “artistic value” in the past. I chose not to post such photos because there are so many of them. They all have artistic value but since there are so many of them, the artistic value photo becomes boring if that’s all it has. In order for me to post a photo I see on here, it needs to remind me of something I have to say or inspire or provoke a thought. Or be something extremely clever or… well, I guess it suffices to say that it can’t only have artistic value.

I said all that to say that this photo is the exception. This photo is pure artistic value and it is such a work of art in my eyes that I wanted to share it just for its artistic value’s sake. It is truely an extra-ordinary photo and work of art. It’s a wonder how this simple picture was able to paint such a dynamic abstract painting, while still being a true and recognizable photo. It is truely a remarkable image.

    I love this - and I’m enjoying exploring your site… and thank you for breaking your rule on this - this was a picture worth sharing.

    Hello OzLady,
    Yes I think this pic is really something, and I’m glad you enjoy my site. I will probably break my rule and post other artistic value photos that strike me as much as this one. But ideally it will be on rare occasions.
    Sometimes a photo is just too good not to share :)
