#325 - Emotions
Posted By: atupdate, 08-24-2015, 09:02 AM

Thanks to Stu for a great job of hosting the last Weekly Challenge.

I'm looking for photos that convey or directly show emotion. Emotions can be subtle or they can hit you over the head. Humans and animals have emotions. Happy, sad, silly, fearful, bored, startled, and others. Show me what you got.

This challenge will close at Noon EST on Monday, August 31st. (7 days from now.)

This contest will close at 11:59 p.m. (Eastern Time, USA) Saturday, August 22, and be judged (barring complications) on Sunday, August 23.

Every week, a new theme is picked and judged by the winner of the previous week. This challenge is Pentax/Samsung-only.

Everyone is eligible to send in their best interpretation of the given theme, as long as the photo is taken with a Pentax/Samsung camera. Themes can be subject-oriented or technique-oriented.

Rules
1. Post ONE photo (max 1024x1024).
2. The photo must portray an interpretation of the theme.
3. Post your single picture in this thread and explain what motivated you to take the picture and/or how you feel it represents the weekly theme (especially if it's not obvious).
4. The challenge is interactive. Any response is welcome.
5. The judge will pick the WINNERS and choose one of them to be the judge for the next week.
6. This challenge runs for 7 days plus an additional day for the judge to choose the winners.
7. Any Pentax (or Samsung DSLR) camera can be used.
8. Pictures can be from any time frame, not just within the week of the current theme.
9. In case the winner of a challenge is unable to become the judge for the next challenge, they will PM the #2 winner for that person to be the judge.

Examples

Happy



Content



Sad or Bored


Good luck to everyone.

Tim

Sadness, helplessness and pain- one of the more graphic and emotive street art images in my collection.

I was at the Night Zoo in Hamamatsu, Japan last night. It was rather depressing. All of the animals and all of my photos were like this. Anyway, I missed the focus on this guy's face, but like the photo anyway.

Some find New Year's Eve emotional. Took this on the street a few seconds after midnight, perhaps DA15 might not be ideal choice but the best lens is the one you have with you

It turned out to be a great picture, so I dare to disagree with you on this :-)

Thank you. Only problem is, you need to get really close.

Agony

The Agony of Defeat - it's a cliche, but not sure how else to describe this.

I'm fascinated by dramatic/ emotional portraiture. To be able to see a persons deeper emotions and thoughts is so meaningful.
