@razec:

our city's "mall" would be too obvious for what "urban life" would mean to a lot of people.. for sure, once "that" mall photo is posted, somebody from Dubai would post their signature "building" and there goes our "mall" entry

a lot of themes about the subject is actually just around the corner but we're all limited to only one entry so we really have to decide carefully what to post for this month..

congrats on you winning entry last month.. way to go, Team Pilipinas

good luck everyone! cheers...

I think it's a little unfair. Art should reflect how a person is feeling at the time they create it. It shouldn't be judged on the technical accuracy of the shot, it should make you feel some sort of emotion when you look at it, be it bad or good.

@trogdor:

hey there, matey.. don't fret.

everybody is entitled to their own opinion on anything - i believe that is the essence of all the forum topics here in esato

personally, i see your photo as something that is somewhere between "environmentalism" meets "urban life".. it's even kind of dramatic for me and i still cannot imagine how you were able to capture that one-of-a-kind shot!

kudos to you for being the first brave esatonian to post an entry for this month's theme - cheers!

@razec:
ako si aldrin hehehe

its nice to see aldrinus (tukayo) posting again
i have a brand new cameraphone yehey! but i haven't tried shooting some possible entry snaps...

don juan knows how to squeeze the creative and imaginative juices out of us this month's theme is a little bit cerebral

dont forget guys, if you only have a mall as urban life in your area, try to think outside of the box with this one, try maybe a panoramic picture, a macro of something, different compositions....you guys can do it!

@don juan:

i couldn't agree more, matey.. like what crossmatched said - this month's theme is indeed very cerebral

now, we really don't know your judging standards, that's why the seemingly rather slow pace of the potential entries for the month..

hope i could already post mine by next week

greetings everyone!
