Next time you disagree with a camera club judge, try submitting the picture to acquine (http://acquine.alipr.com/) for an instant aesthetic judgement.

What is Acquine? "Aesthetic Quality Inference Engine - Intelligent, Unbiased and Instant Assessment of Photos". Put simply, an online computer program which analyses your (colour, not b+w) picture and decides on its aesthetic value - or otherwise. Is it a gimmick or does it have any real value?

It doesn't think much of some of mine ;).

Sounds like it's a cobbled-together machine that ressembles the definition of a camel. A horse designed by a committee :D:

I think anyone's attitude ought to be that of the late Freddie Trueman when he advertised, I think, St Bruno pipe tobacco in the 70s. He said: "They ( the advertisers) wanted me to say and contemptuously he'd reel off a number of sentences of ad speak, then adding in very emphatic tones "but I like it because it suits me" and his face would indicate that that was the end of the matter.

Rather than Acquine, they shoulda called it Asinine.

Hehehehe.

The worlds gone mad. I may give up photography and go back
back to painting.

If I gave up photography I'd end up painting almost all the time. The kitchen, lounge, bedrooms :D
