another reject

[SD40-2]

- Bad Motive: This rejection reason means that the photo is of low esthetic qualities, or is simply not the type of material we are wishing to publish.

my question what is so bad about a CN SD60F that they dont want to post it ?

If I can come up with something other than a smart ass response, I will be more than happy to let you know. RP.net is in their own little world.

esthetic:
is a branch of philosophy called value theory or axiology, which is the study of sensory or sensori-emotional values, sometimes called judgments of sentiment or taste. Aesthetics is closely associated with the philosophy of art.

So they judge this picture to have low taste...
I guess it doesn't pay to well..pay.
rp.net sucks

Could it be the position of the crewman on the steps, or perhaps the fact that there is a person on the equipment period? I know locophotos.net (lower quality site, yes, but...) won't allow photos that include people on the equipment.

Umm, so just because its not up to there taste, they don't want it, well I can tell you that most of the sunset profiles where all you see is orange, and the black out line of a trains, aren't pleasing to my taste, and don't really show prototype equipment detail at a good angle since most are over a horizon. I guess they never heard the word Hipercrit.

I guess they never heard the word Hipercrit.

I don't believe I've ever seen or heard that word either, Mike...do you mean 'hypocrite'?

I like the photo- the crewman adds to the photo, IMHO, it helps to tell the story, which is the purpose of a picture anyway! Nice shot, no matter what anyone says...
