A couple of quick comments about "wow" photos that win. First, there are two types of "wow" photos. The first is that kind that makes you say, "Wow, what a great capture". Image quality may not be terrific, but someone with a camera was in the right place at the right time and caught it perfect. The second makes you go "Wow, I wish I could take pictures like that" and usually refers to the image quality more than the content of the photo. Nicely exposed, tack-sharp, or just overall well-balanced photos shot at the correct settings look awesome, and we love them here. Ideally, the picture of the day has both! But that is a difficult accomplishment, and so it happens that on some days image quality wins and some days a marvelous capture wins. You can have a $5000 digital SLR, but if some guy with a point-and-shoot is there when his dog jumps in Aunt Martha's arms and causes her to fall overboard, guess who wins? Besides good image quality, what we are seeking here at USApotd.com are photographs that inspire. Pictures that are rich in the texture and spirit of this country that makes us proud to be Americans. |
