defination of esthetic

[Norwin]

What is esthetic for you?
Why is a sunset more beautiful than an empty sky?
What makes a photography esthetic?

How do you come to the conclusion that a photography is good? We all do it unconscious but no one really can explain the WHY.

i have to think about it.

i shall come back with a answer.

If my eyes don't bleed it's aesthetics.

That's basically it. If I look at it and go, 'nice', or want to keep it, or enjoy looking at it.

It's not something you look at and think 'this is aesthetic' you look at something and think 'Gleeeee!' then you try and work out why, that next bit is the whole thinking about it thing; that's when you get the headache.


I might write more on it, this is a very quick response, I'm sure there's more I could write, but this is how I feel about photos, sculptures, so on, so this is what I'm going to say. Sure, you're going to ask, 'but what is it that makes you go Gleeeee!?' Well... that's for another time, Darlings!
