This, for me, is the missing piece of the puzzle. I simply assumed that all of the images in that book were examples of that concept.
Thanks for the tip, Adrian. I've just added the asterisks.
That is the point of all of our challenges-- some people get it, some don't get it, and some take it beyond the bounds. The last group of people are usually the ones to win these challenges, because they are thinking outside the box.
Yes, the voters decide.
Yes, the host is certainly allowed to express an opinion. My objection was the implied demand to remove the photo because it wasn't in line with the subject.
Not much to say other than what I just said above.
Yes, it was his decision in the end, but I do feel he was complying with our host's wishes. Danny is a really nice man and wouldn't want to offend anyone.
Lots of people replace their images if they find others closer to their interpretation of the subject.
Moti, again, all of our challenges have had the potential for sophistication. One only has to recognize it.
I couldn't really figure out why a bullet going through an egg is
not considered a "decisive moment" so in that case I have no idea
at all Nancy). Maybe this one is more of the arty farty stuff,
so I'll wait and see what other B/W people see.
be French, LOL.
All the best Nancy as always. Not a problem really
Danny.

Worry about the image that comes out of the box, rather than the
box itself.
It's there, and it's there even more strongly than if the parents had been running toward the kid. I'm interpreting it that the kid is throwing a tantrum and the parents are doing well to ignore rather than play to the tactics. As a parent myself, I can totally relate --now that my kids have grown and flown, this kind of image cracks me up.
Nancy, you hit the nail right on the head. When I first spotted the kid lying on the sidewalk and crying, and his parents just walking past him, I thought that he had hurt himself and they were being callous. But after a few seconds of observation, I realized that he was just throwing a tantrum and they were doing their best to show discipline and not give in to his demands. They kept walking, trying to show that they weren't going to be held up by his antics, and then stopped at just the right distance to be able to keep an eye on him but show that he wasn't changing their itinerary with his whining. The folded arms show that they've settled in for a standoff. I didn't stick around to see who won the contest of wills, but I'd place my bet on the parents. I agree with you that the parents were doing well with this "tough love."
