If people can see the genuineness in the frame it does. Wise words, Willem

it looks good to me. let's see first reactions and impact and if need you might chance along (my "fear" is that not everybody is willing to communicate even with the help of a poll)

I also think not everyone is willing, but if they enjoy the discussion (and maybe learn) that's a good thing, right?

you have all the good intentions, you made first steps in the right direction, let's see what happens and maybe adjust accordingly

First, thanks! I think it will be fun.

On the category of “appeal”, the topic seems to me to be hugely dependent on audience. There is a type of art that is popular where I live and “outside the lines” is not. And I had an experience as I was in a teaching credential program. All the graduate students in my group (40) weee asked their favorite movie. Most had Disney movies or equivalent feel good movies. My favorite was Pulp Fiction.

It makes me feel that appeal is both cultural and personal, more than the other categories.

Hi Don, thanks. I do think it will be fun and entertaining too. I hear you on your favorite movie, I also prefer Pulp Fiction above any feelgood movie. My all-time favorite is 'The Big Lebowski'

In regards to the category 'Appeal' is sure is dependent on cultural preference, but isn't that not a great thing, to hear why people are or are not drawn into a photo?
