Weekly Photo Contest Challenge: One Word Feels (September 06 - 13, 2020)

[Alexander.Of.Oz]

Howdy folks and welcome to the next enthralling instalment of MacRumors Weekly Photo Challenge! Cue the spotlights, play the theme song, bring out the clowns in mini-cars and dancing ponies!

A simple motif from me for this weeks round, "One Word Feels". This is a storytelling exploration in connoting an emotion or feeling through a visual still-frame photograph. By all means feel free to dive into the archives of your image repositories or to take the moment to investigate a feeling as you may see fit to express that through photographic capture and presentation.

If you are creating an image this week for the challenge, think about what you are conveying and how you can achieve that effectively for others to 'get it'.


My Rules for this round:

1. Give me one image and one non-hyphenated word to connote the feeling you are conveying in said image.
2. Provide any more than one word or a word with a hyphen and ineligibility to provide the following round of this weekly challenge series is proudly yours!
3. You may include as many vowels, consonants and syllables as you can fit in to said singular confabulation. I feel the Dutch (thanks for informing me of this proud heritage characteristic @oblomow ), the Welsh and the Germans may possibly have an unfair advantage here, if they choose to use their own vernacular!
4. The usual US $50 bribes are available for securing a safe second or third position. (AFB & Deep Diver, I'm looking at you two! Papa needs a brand new lens! )

My examples as further explanation:

Here are a range of my own images to illustrate that this does not necessarily require people to convey emotion, along with my own 'One Word Feels' for them all. The beauty of this is that you may or may not resonate to any of my visual expressions here, for you these emotions or feelings I share may well be better expressed with other visual allegories! That's perfectly okay as we are individuals, with uniquely differing life experiences to frame the way we see and feel.

Please, feel free to use any of the words I may have used, they are just to show a few examples of how this does not necessarily need the human or animal factor to convey an emotion or feeling.

Well, what are you waiting for? Have at it and have fun in the process. I look forward to seeing all your expressions.

In Australia, where everything is shortened or abbreviated, we prefer the term Sesquipedalophobia, thank you.

Writing your feedback now...

An interesting pairing with that cartoonish winking face image, a bit heavy handed on the clarity though, Hugh, taking it into the extreme HDR look now!

Since when do you buy US $100 lenses? I think you left off a "0".

You forget our pathetic exchange rate, where we get a tuppence on your dollar, if we are lucky! ?

Looking through my archives for something to define MEDIOCRE , figured it'd be easy , but there's just too much stuff to choose from..... back to the OED for another word.

No. These are not common words. ( aansprakelijkheidswaardevaststellingsveranderingen: liability valuation changes). But they are valid dutch words. The rule is 'when in doubt, do not use spaces between words', so long composite words are no exception. 'Angstschreeuw' (scream for fear) is a real, but shorter, word. 'jeugdverpleegkundige' (school nurse), 'opstartperiode' (start up time), 'pauzeruimtes' (break rooms) 'contactpersoon' (contact person) are all words I copied from a letter from the school principal.

Hey, wait, hold on a second... two entries, that my good sir is reason enough to win the supreme podium placement.

I count five so far, but by no means making you screwed ... yet

Thanks for the entries thus far, a few more would be nice, but I don't mind either way! This next week and a half is a flat out one for me, so I am writing my responses as entries come on through, allowing myself the opportunity to just cut and paste them on judgement day, when I shall be eagerly frollicking with wombats at a dear friends wombat sanctuary!

I've never thought to use the words "frolic" and "wombat" in the same sentence. "Dear friends," however, are always wonderful. Have fun.

Summer:

And yes, I took this photo today in the northern hemisphere where it should be summer and was 100 degrees this past weekend...
