>>3826246>>3826253Aesthetically unconventional or challenging isn't really required, though, for art to be good. Not everybody wants to be challenged, and if you have to furrow your brow to appreciate a piece of art, isn't that more of a high brow way to appreciate art? The existence of high brow art doesn't negate the existence of low and mid brow art, nor the aesthetic components associated with them. Nor does it preclude high brow people from appreciating low brow art also.
>So you have to wonder on a couple of questions; are humanity's activities really that that important compared the serenity of the evening (or morning) sky? What impact do we have on the serenity of it all? These questions, are the worth of the photo on the rightThat's a very poetic way to sum up the compositional result, but like with most art, the artist has significant latitude to choose what is in the composition. How bad would it have really been to just have the factory serve as the human element? Or just something else nearby?
If you'll recall, I like both photos
>>3826098>I often wonder how judges reason out the winners of photography competitions. Both photos look quite good, but they're so different. They range from lots of details and action to cold minimalism. Both are landscapes, but they cater to completely opposite tastes.If you can see a narrative in the photo on the right straight away, that's great. It didn't jump out at me, but I still thought it was aesthetically pleasing. To me, I see more of an abstract composition that relies on colors and geometry rather than a human element. The factory is there. It's been there for years and will likely be there until I die. I'm not too overly concerned about the factory. Freshly fallen snow, however, is an event that doesn't happen every day. Untouched snow, even if not freshly fallen, is beautiful because it coats the ground evenly and perfectly. The snowmobile tracks, as I've stated, are uneven, chaotic and therefore ugly.
