Congrats on your POTD for this! #2336818Like most of the recent potd's its a posed construction. Technically well exposed and composed, but thats all. Just advertising art.
I always look forward to the POTD on my email, and am often impressed, but recently its been all posed "art"....with technical expertise, but no magic.
Am looking for more "WOW", " The magic moment that is amazing and right in 125th second. And..... you get it on film or card. That, to me is "Art"

Larry dont listen to that bozo up above this is agreat image! The colors are outstanding and the jaggid lines that that guy is talkin about is compression issues. It is a great image and CONGRATS on your POTD!!!! #2337247

That said: Jesus: the blend between the handle & background isn't quite perfect, but compression really does seem to accentuate it rather badly. JPG doesn't seem to like the sharp transition between solid colors.
Thanks also robert, for your considered opinion. Much better than a simple "This Stinks", and certainly provides some food for thought. I'd love to see examples of your work, for instruction and inspiration. Could you post a link to your gallery?
Speaking of "ART", that definition is certainly in the eye of the beholder. Is this “art”??? Well, I'm just glad that's not my call to make, and I have not vested interest in what each individual may decide. Personally, my attempt here was to capture the interplay of the various curves and circles and arcs in this everyday object, which I found on our kitchen stove. And while robert doesn’t find anything “serendipitous” here, I feel my discovery (or notice) of these interactions to be just that. And the image does seem to have captured some people’s eyes, and created some emotional responses, mostly positive (at least of those who felt moved to comment).
Granted, my humble rendering of a teapot doesn't begin to compare with the most influential piece of modern art ever:

Many congratulations on POTD Larry, wonderful image.#2337491
Sharon Day January 25, 2006
Congratulations on POTD, Larry!!! I LOVE this shot!Every party has a pooper and it seems the POTDs are really drawing them out lately! I guess anyone can critique that wants to but a POTD is not the place for critique or unsolicited opinions as to what is art IMHO :O)! #2337533
Mi intention is not undervalue your work, really dont.
Sure most of people here have more experience than me on photography, but I can tell you one or two things about PHOTOSHOP. Believe me is not the COMPRESSION it is the SELECTION and the tool you choose to make it. I take the liberty to download your photo and redo the path (I used the PEN tool) in order to erase the jagged border. It Worked.
Larry, I'm going to email you the image so you can compare both.
Please dont take me wrong. It's just a little adviced for further ideas.
Best regards,
Jesus Diaz

Jesus: I certainly did not take offense at your comments, or think you were trying to undervalue my work. Sorry if I was abrupt.
I did use magic wand on this, but touched up the edges manually. Comparing the image in my files, and the image displayed here DOES show a difference along the edges. But I'll be happy to discuss outside this forum, and see if I can improve my skills!
