Spot on Martin. An eyecatching image is crucial to entice the viewer to open the thumbnail and any narrative is a bonus. A bland image, of there are plenty will be overlooked irrespective of narrative or not. So once again we are back to the subject of self criticism regarding quality of uploads. |

I attempt to give interesting and amusing narrative where possible and hopefully informative in relation to hills, fells, lakes, buildings etc |

I feel this time with POE reassessing itself and us with it is another move in the evolution of our becoming much more aware of our work in both standard and information and we have benefitted both in ourselves and as the family POE. It would be nice if more folk joined in here in the forums and with subjects like this as it would be a benfit for themselves. |

This 'crisis' has brought out some very good discussions and suggestions. And it would be great to see more folk getting involved in the forums introducing new thoughts and topics for discussion. But first lets make sure that we put the results of our own discussions in place in order to encourage the success of POE |

| Dave John Posts: 22335 Joined: 27th Feb 2011 Location: England | quotePosted at 21:01 on 7th April 2014 Some reasonable images but definitely taking the mickey a bit. |
| rustyruth Posts: 18775 Joined: 23rd Oct 2012 Location: England | quotePosted at 22:04 on 7th April 2014 I know I keep going on about this, but an average image with a narrative can often be a lot more interesting than 10 technically good images with no narrative. People coming here researching places to visit surely would appreciate some information. If I take a picture and I know nothing about the subject matter I research it, not only for my own benefit but for the benefit of others. |
