I must tell you that your comment on my "Gesture" photo DID NOT bring me any annoyance at all. In fact, like I told you to my previous message, I accepted it with pleasure, since I appreciate a lot both your personal work and profile text (talked about it with some other friends of mine, whose opinion I do respect, as well).
If you check my replying message out closer enough (which I also copyied it under my photo in order other people to see this prolific dialogue between two photographers), you will be pleased to see that, in general, I'm mostly describing how did the photo procedure went on when shooting and I'm admitting that during my first efforts I kept failing... tragically!
Of course, not every human being of this complicated, contemporary world uses the same criteria when he/she is about to get under his/her rules or principles for evaluating or testing something. And when this approaches to cultural matters area (art, photography, literature etc.), everybody knows (and he understands) how much more subjective the personal judgement may get. We all are different! And the fact, by itself, makes our life more interesting.
To return back, I believe that this is exactly why someone might get fascinated after havig seen a certain image (e.g. the owner of "Gesture") or not (e.g. Berthold Klammer).
Any conclusion? Yes. "None of them is wrong at all". (Why should he/she, anyway?).
Regards, my friend (allow me to call you "friend", please)!

PS.: I agree that we can stay in touch if you want it too.
at first I'd like to thank you for commenting on my "Gesture" photo, I appreciate it a lot (better off since your experience in photography is vast), though I feel sorry that, like you said, you missed the dynamic era of it (that, in my poor opinion, it exists).
You see, my friend, what the viewer might observe here is the result of a hard photographic effort and not a "took-my-camera-then-pressed-the-button-and-voila!" picture (by the way, how many uploaded photos of this kind do you have in mind? Aren't they... countless?)
When I started shootings for "Gesture" (it took too many to get an accepted result) I turned first my camera towards a warm source of light that I wanted to catch it somehow differently.
The plan was to shoot continuously, moving the camera (in a circular sense) at the same time, in order to be combined both the lighting effect and the camera move (gesture). I must tell you that the first shots were... a complete failure (wrong white balance, unsteady camera holding, no abstraction at all). But almost an hour later (and many trials after) I was pleased to see the photo that you all may see here.
Should I also mention that the certain photo (Gesture) has been presented in several art exhibitions and a copy of it (1 out of 3) now belongs to its happy owner, a female psychologist from Greece.
Anyway, I thank you a lot for your time and words. You are kindly invited to comment on again to another photo of mine at any time.
