Please vote for your favorite image from the "Sense of Place" assignment for the "People's Choice" award. In the assignment description I stated that "a photo that conveys a "sense of place" is more than a documentary photo of a specific location, and is composed with the goal of conveying an ambiance, mood or feeling consistent with what someone would experience when visiting that place. Photographers will often compose their images to emphasize attributes (color, light, motion, depth, etc.) in the scene that contribute towards the "feel" of the image, and will often include symbolic elements that convey the "meaning" associated with a place. "Sense of place" is often tightly linked to culture and can also be conveyed by including people in the scene and illustrating how they relate to or behave within that place. "
To vote for an image, simply select the image title in the "poll" attached at the top of this thread, and click "submit vote."
NOTE: You need to be logged in to see the voting options. Voting will end at midnight, Mountain Time (GMT-07:00) on Sunday, 6 September 2009.
