One of my images, Only a stone's throw got the highest c-index of all my pics. Today I asked myself, if this might ever have the chance to be shown on Page 1. My husband said, that the grey sky is bad, that I would have a better c-index and a better chance for page 1 with a blue sky. Visitors said the same. I will try to make the same shot one day in spring, for sure, but I think the grey sky is it, it shows the dark feeling, that Vienna is also known of (think of the movie "The third man"). Every comment is welcome. Even if you tell me, you hate the picture. Please don't care, that I will cry for hours. :-)

I left a comment on your image. I hope it helps :)

Thank you so much for taking the time. I am glad, you feel the same as I do about the image. I do understand, what you say about the subject. In fact, the view itself is the subject, but I will try to do it again, when I am there, and get this "subject" more clear. I am a real newby in taking shots, worked with my cell phone before, so I am glad, when somebody takes my hand and shows me the way. Thanks again for taking the time.

i think so many people have been conditioned to happy, cheerful images that when something taps on a different emotion (sadness, anger, etc...) it's not as easily interpreted

So you tell me, the image is good as it is, but it might not be, what people want to see? So do you think, it might change with a blue sky?

well .. as it is now, c-indexwise (72) .. it will stand a very GOOD chance of making it to the front page

So I will wait ... Thanks for giving me hope. I think, I will jump around like crazy, if this happens.

I checked it out...see comment.

Glad, you all take the time for comments. I already told Hottrockin, that I will spend a lot of time there, at the steps of our town hall, trying to do all the things, you told me. Thank you.

ahhh .. but the problem with the "front page" .. is .. you have to be there to see it .. :o) .. or you'll never know

good luck .. :o)


note: .. listen to comments, criticisms, etc .. process the information ... but remain true to YOUR vision and artistic eye

Believe me, I will not miss it, when it is there. Smile. And thanks for calling my eye artistic!

Today I saw it on page one. I am more than happy about it. Wanted to let you know, in case, your still watching this discussion.

oh .. good .. I was keeping a constant vigil on the front page...

now I can go get a sandwich

:o)
