Such communication is the only meaningful basis for judging or measuring photographic success. Did one accomplish what one intended to accomplish? Pulling one's purpose from the mystique of triggering feelings and emotions can be a useful exercise for both beginning and amateur photographers as well as camera club judges. It is only with experience that feeling and emotional automaticity takes over! I have enjoyed the reflective and humorous exchange between Ted and Lluis, and I smile and laugh riding the wave of implied and expressed abstractions. Be Well Everyone, Dr. Leon Pomeroy, Northern Virginia, USA. Referencing: "Hi Ted mon ami, Thank you very much! you made me see that the photographer?s ability shall communicate the feelings, the emotion ? without further explanations, if the pictures need these explanations? as Hamlet says ?. ?something is wrong in Denmark??. Thank you very much my friend! Cheers LLuis"
