Thank you Meilicke. Distilled sounds about right. I remember I had a trial copy of Tiffen DFX when I did that and ran a variety of filters on smart objects until I got to that stage, only I do not remember what filter etc. Really should have safed that process. LOLGeorg, I just love #3. They are all wonderful, but the way you distilled her look to just the essentials has nailed it for me. Light.
Ditto....it's not all there is....but in the end, it's all that matters.I am much more of a minimalist on this. For me, it boils down to one of two things: Artistic Intent or Editorial Intent. Both contain many of the elements mentioned, but they are only tools to capture, enhance, define, suggest, or reveal what the intent is.

I agree. If there's no intent, or message, it may still be a photograph, but it probably isn't mine. Still, Guy's original list is important, since it defines the technical quality of the photo, and establishes how well the message is conveyed.I am much more of a minimalist on this.
