Karel Temny, I once went to the beach, and all the girls there were kneeling in the water. I asked, "Why is that?" They replied, "We don't want to get out of the water."
Impressor, the girl was splashing around in the warm water as she pleased, acting completely natural. Just because you've never seen a girl splash around like that and not want to get out doesn't mean what I captured in my photo is awkward or unnatural. For both her and me, everything was perfectly fine and natural.
RomanS, you mentioned Defocus, so I decided to take a look at what's going on there. Amazing pearls of photographic thought have been discovered, authored by another pillar of Russian and international photography, G. Meremyanin. I'll allow myself to quote, in the hope that neither I nor anyone else here would ever live to see such insanity even in our worst nightmares:
I can't agree that light creates artistry... (G. Meremyanin)
Artistic photographs (unfortunately, no camera shoots as well as it records the surrounding reality) are "made" In graphics programs (such as Photoshop, for example), but you also need to have at least a basic art education, which is impossible to obtain here on Rasfokus. In three words... (G. Meremyanin http://rasfokus.ru/forum/thread1364-6.html ) It's not even "mood" in photography...
