Feelings are quite strong, regarding BLM, so they will just create comments about the demonstration, rather than the quality of the photographer.

If your friend wants to display the emotion of a photograph perhaps a short title for each photo would demonstrate the emotion it was trying to convey. ( I have spent a lot of time with journalists who take photos )
Excellent points about putting the photos in the photo section and having a title for each photo.

d00d, pay no attention to the negative comments. some people hate, just for the sake of hating.

Re: BLM photos from a friend

Can’t people have an opinion without being accused of hate ?
DOOD has put the photos in this section to do a bit of stirring !
They are good pictures but they would not be published because the impact has passed .

Re: BLM photos from a friend

This is a photo I am more interested in today .
It’s just common or garden good photo it has no particular artistic merit it’s tells no touching stories of hard done minority’s against the police .

But ,it says a lot more to anyone who is up to date with the news .

Re: BLM photos from a friend

Hi guys

They are not my photos, there is no copyright, I can't offer a link to another site, and the photographer is not seeking any appraisal.

I said in my OP that I believe the OFF Photos & Art section should be for members' own works, except when a name and a link link can be provided.

I understand they may not appeal to many on here, for whatever reason. And I understand we are all free to disrupt the thread and go off-topic.

As you were.

The photo quality is good but the subject makes me want to vomit.

Re: BLM photos from a friend

I like them...interesting.

Picture 1... for me is a phoney capture, traits of NG afghan girl with them eyes,
But these young girls at a protest.. putting on their sad eyes with their special face masks.

Picture 2.... for me is brilliant, suggests lots of intrigue.

Picture 3.... captures the aggressive attitude of these peaceful protests.
