I'm glad you took this in the spirit it was meant.
This is a tough MA to depict Hate, personally I love coffee and drink far too much of it but that had no influence on my comments. You probably wasted that cup, I would have drunk it!!
I could be far more critical of some of the other entries in this MA, but surely its obvious. Am I the only person seeing it or am I the only person willing to say it?
I understand your feelings about not wanting to shoot certain things. I was the same. I shot my entry and waited until everyone else had gone to bed in my house before I processed it and then I added a warning before posting it. Personally I don't find my entry offensive but I am very aware that others might
As you said, arguably, only violence or discrimination depict hate (I will leave religion out of this) in your opinion, but this is a photographic assignment and surely it must be judged on what the individual (or Judge) sees when they look at an image related to the assignment. Regardless of how good the shot is, does it convey the assignment? Quite often in the Wa & MA I feel it does not, but no one ever criticises, it is all praise and good luck. Occasionally there is constructive criticism but not often. This forum is about learning, we need less slaps on the back and more home truths. I love your image but it won't get my vote for this MA.
Rant over.
Adam
