THE ONE-QUESTION MORALITY QUIZ

This test has only one question—but it's a very important one. By giving an honest answer, you will discover where you stand morally. The test features an unlikely and completely fictional situation, in which you will have to make a decision. Only you will know the results, so remember that your answer needs to be completely honest.

You are in Palm Beach, with chaos all around you, caused by a hurricane. There is a flood of biblical proportions. You are a photojournalist, working for a major newspaper, and you're caught in the middle of this epic disaster. The situation is nearly hopeless. You're trying to shoot career-making photos. There are houses and people swirling around you, some disappearing under the water. Nature is unleashing all its destructive fury.

THE TEST:
Suddenly you see a man in the water. He is fighting for his life, trying not to be taken down with the debris. You move closer. Somehow this man looks like...WOW --- it's Donald Trump! At the same time, you realize the raging waters are about to take him under forever.

YOU HAVE TWO OPTIONS:

You can save the life of Donald Trump, OR you can shoot a dramatic, Pulitzer-Prize-winning photo, documenting the last minute of one of the world's most powerful and evil men, who is hell-bent on destroying the USA.

YOUR DECISION:

Here's the question, and please give an honest answer:

Would you:

( A) select high-contrast colour film, or

( B) go with the classic simplicity of black and white?

I got such a positive response to my previous eight postings, I thought I would post some more photos from that folder.
To refresh your memory this is what I had said before:
"I found a folder on my computer labeled "My best photos". I looked through them and pulled out 10 of my favorites from the whole folder. It's interesting that none of the photos were of surfers or the waves!
Each one is different and unique from the others in this series. Of course they all look better in download mode!"
This new posting has two photos that relate to the ocean.

One of my requirements as a juror or exhibition organizer is that the juror(s) post their criteria. Without that, it's a crap shoot. I imagine that at a regular fair, people photos would be top priority, but I cannot know.

Using my criteria of uniqueness/originality, good color, tone, composition, and appropriate technique, I would pick Nightscape and the Domestic Animal. There are many night sky pix, but the structure in yours and its color make it unique. Domestic Animal is a cliché, but your is special for it great and suggestive color, the fine composition, and good contrasts pshyically and esthetically.

Congratulations!
