Well there is more then one way to present an image and the last time I was in an art gallery most paintings and photographs were framed and matted (border). I can only assume they think it adds to the image or why bother with the extra expense.

The good news is there are lots of challenges and people can pick and choose what they like. I think people should embrace the ones they like.

Mike,

Paintings, I did not mentioned neither did assumed were part of the discussion, I was mentioning only photos, and yes, you may find photos framed but they are not too many. Photos watermarked? Umh. They too show up with titles, most ( specially those considered as contemporary art) come as untitled. there is an extended discussion in the History of Art about the 'space', lead, importance or none titles have. But yeah, there is a lot to choose from on challenges, Good Lord!

By the way, congratulations on your challenge Desire. Great success, and that is besides the point of responsible hosting work you always show.

For me photography is first of all - Fun.

Of course therebis the desire to create and to make a self-statment.
I'm not traying to create Art, but like I said - to enjoy.

Captions on pictures adds, sometimes, adifferent content and more fun.

Look please in my galleries at "Welcome".
