RE: Photo contest: post processing #18 | Minimalism
Hello everyone and especially to @ty-ty and @lllllll1ll
I am delighted that my photography has created such an interesting debate, although as an author I am not and do not feel myself to be an intellectual of the image. I see, I compose, I try to balance form and visual weight and I shoot. Nothing more. No more. I don't look for deep explanations to my compositions, I simply try to create a bridge between what is there and what the viewer can see.
In the end, a work of art or craftsmanship is also created by the viewer with his or her interpretation, since everything is subjective. Everything is subjectivity.
Thank you for your conclusions.

Me encanta que mi fotografía haya creado este debate tan interesante, aunque yo como autor no soy ni me siento un intelectual de la imagen. Veo, compongo, busco que forma y peso visual estén equilibrados y disparo. Nada más. Sin más. No busco explicaciones profundas a mis composiciones, simplemente trato de crear un puente entre lo que hay y lo que puede ver el espectador.
Al final, una obra de arte o artesana también la crea el espectador con su interpretación, ya que todo es subjetividad. Todo.
Gracias por vuestras conclusiones.
Thanks for reading!

This I reckon to be true.
The conclusion is brave, but is it valid? I don't think so. There is very much subjectivity in creating and percepting works of arts and craftsmanship (thanks for this supplement!!). But "everything" is too big a word in this context.
So why not? This could be interesting! You should not risk to lose your intuition while creating, but you could take into account that reflection increases and inspires it. And vice versa! Let the reflection be the bird and your intuition its wings!
This, I think, is impossible without intellectual efforts. You only have the choice to give it a solid (reflected) basis or to leave it in an unevolved state. But to avoid it seems to be no option, since you already begun to arrange things and to think of the viewer. Thus you already lost your 'innocence' - now you have to deal with 'contraception'... (esp. prevention of prejudice)
