Self Portrait

|
 Self Portrait I took this the other night while in downtown Chicago. I put my camera to night scene Mode and moved it around while snapping the picture.

Why? Would it have been as interesting if I would have just left the camera still? Why Not? I say.Thank you Kristen and Isabel.

I think it's a great shot, Sharon! Love the effects you got. How do you like your camera? I have the same model, and love everything about it except trying to focus in dark situations. Take care.

Seems the "why?" should be obvious. Look what you got. Great photo...

I'm sorry for the "why" comment. I should have been more specific in my comment. What I meant was that I really didn't see the artistic value in holding a camera in front of the face and shaking it while shooting. But, obviously I was in error since this photo is so well received by many who have viewed it...I stand corrected.

I don't feel Donald should be sorry either. It is your opinoin Donald and I listen to everyones opinion. But, how is is not artistic. Everything is artistic. So, do you feel that abstract artists who just throw a bunch of paint on the canvas are not artists. Or what about the people who just put say a blue square on a white canvas? Are they artists in your opinion?

Congrats Sharon! I guess as the old adage goes, some folks say "why" and the creative say "why not?" :)

Congrats Sharon...I followed this picture on the CC board and I think it's justifying for you to win with it! You're right...just what is art? It is subjective at the very least and most...congratulations to you!
