Small or medium format, amateur or pro is not what makes a picture interesting or valid.
I'm sure Tim posted that because for him it represents something valid. Nothing against that.
Then, it would have been more interesting if he gave minimum explainations about these sculptures, what are they etc...
what was the purpose.
I do not know Tim's work but I'm sure he is capable of more "elaborate" imagery. At least posting the works we are proud,
and I think (and it's personal) that Tim did not post those because he was proud.
Dick pointed something true about MF and "pro" concept.
But where I agree with pixjohn is that those pics look like snapshots and they are not medium format.
Not being rigid, not being intolerant, I think that it would be good to keep such a section as mainly an MF section.
There is another one "post your pro works" that embrasse all other formats so there is no lack.
Without discriminating, I think that keeping this section a MF niche is not bad, and I understand the complain
of pixjohn. Those pictures where the open door to be critized.
It's about self disipline I guess.
I do not post here for the moment because I do not work in MF at the moment. I feel that I can't upload snaps either, even if they are good for me
because of the nature of this thread.
Why should not we be concern about posting beautifull images? About posting the one we are really proud?
There are so many sections that are suitable for all kind of imagery, but keeping a high standard here and being self-critic, demanding is not bad.
IMO.
