Group: IPERNITY - Ambassador Images

A glance at the group objective says: "The intention is to show images by our members that are particularly worth seeing and that represent the spectrum of their work in the greatest possible diversity. It is not a ‚best of‘ group."

To answer the question asked in the headline, one must therefore clarify how an ‚image worth seeing‘ is defined. Surprisingly, one can hardly find any articles on this subject on the internet. Therefore, I wrote an article about it:

[EN] What is a noteworthy photo?
[FR] Qu'est-ce qu'une photo remarquable ?
[GE] Was ist ein sehenswertes Foto?

In short:

Whether images are worth seeing is decided by the viewers only. Generally speaking, images are more likely to be considered worth seeing, if they

- attract attention,
- arouse fiction,
- touch emotionally.

For truly exceptional iamges, the 'image quality' is less important. Normally, however, an image for the group 'Ambassador Images' should have at least a good amateur quality. More on this in: What is a good photo?

If an image of yours meets at least two of the three criteria mentioned above, you are invited to submit it to this group.

(Discussions are also welcome directly under the cited articles.)

Edit November 2023: The former term 'Picture' has been replaced by 'Image'. As I was advised by a native speaker, 'pictures' are more painting (oil or water colour), or a drawing (pencil, child's crayon?). And while one can say 'take a picture with a camera', in the electronic age, 'image' seems the better fit.
