I notice this a lot.....
Seemingly there is no disgrace in terrible over/under exposure, out of
focus, badly asymmetric ( not just asymmetric, but bad asymmetry), false/bad
color, overall interest ( specific and sometimes very narrow audience
appeal, and sometimes who that audience is just escapes me), movement in
camera or image, grain., or any other standard of "image quality".

Like a lot of Life, interpretation is in the eyes of the beholder.  I just
wish that someone would think about the image in its entirety before
relegating it to anything but the circular filing cabinet ( or electronic
Trash Can).  

Content is not king in my eyes.  It must stand up to a higher standard of
quality as well to make the cut.

I got a chance to look at www.Photo.net  recently to see  what images were
posted.  Beautifully composed, technically faultless, and they tell a story.

I guess I just do not understand......

For documentary work, content is king.
