[QUOTE="ohkphoto, post: 9297, member: 1573"] I think you kind of make my point so I'm not sure that this is exactly a "disagree". Most photos/images have a subject --it's what we're photographing, so we may be comparing apples and oranges. [B]It's what the photographer does with the subject that creates the impact[/B]. Photojournalistic images are some of the most moving and powerful images in the world; however, cropping out something or not can change not only the impact of the image but part of the "storytelling". [ATTACH]917._xfImport[/ATTACH] With regard to Robert Capa's work and other war photographers, I'm not sure it's only the "subject matter" that creates the impact --I think our knowledge of the history of the subject matter has a lot to do with it. And the graininess and bluriness I think is as much of impact of the image as the subject matter --war is hell, and that's what the photos capture. [/QUOTE]
