1- Sea
2- Sky
3- Bird

I guess this three is the only thing i see in this photo, You can see three subjects only in this pic..

Let me know if someone sees four, then i guess it cant be counted :)

after reading your explaination, I still see a bird. The other 'subjects' just aren't the focus of the shot. cool picture, though!

Ahhh. Now I see sort of how it's relevant. I think I agree with Ana though: You have done such a great job of emphasizing the bird as the subject, that the other stuff doesn't "count" as items #2 and #3.

I like your analysis though ;) Mine would look like this:

1- Bird
2- Everything Else

Still a cool shot (but fix the horizon) ;)

I can see three things in this image, and i like the horizon too. The horizon doesnt have to be straight.

This picture shows three things, May be the image is a little hard for understand for you guys??? since it wasnt with flourensent colors or just with 3 simple birds :)

You guys dont see a sea?
You guys dont see a bird?
You guys dont see a sky?

Cant this three makes a three? You will see only this three... You cant see four subjects.. Just three....

?? If there was a delete button.. i would have deleted it by now :)

Don't feel like you should delete it, altough I'm sure you are tired of the "I don't get it" by now, as long as you get it you should be proud of it. I thing the bird itself is fantastic.

You said:"May be the image is a little hard for understand for you guys??? since it wasnt with flourensent colors or just with 3 simple birds"

Yes, it IS hard to see 'three' as part of this picture. If you took 20 people off the street and asked them to use 20 words to describe this picture as opposed to the one with '3 simple birds' I'm guessing the word 'three' will be used for the other shot, and not yours. The one thing I've learned at weekly shots is to really try and be very, obviously relevant, and not rely on ambiguity. (that is sort of the point)

You also say that we should see three subjects. Honestly, I see one MAIN subject. Again, if someone asked, "What is the main subject of this shot?" The answer would be "a bird." If someone asked the same of the one with "3 simple birds" the answer would be '3 birds.'
See the theme there?
Not trying to be a smart ass, but it really does have to be very obviously relevant for it to be relvant. Chalk in 'learning experience' and move on. Its one shot at WS, not the world. :)

Allright :)

COoool,

Ok, read the comments now. No, I feel, quite strongly that you wanted to enter this shot and like a turner prize nominee, have tried to manipulate the relevance. I totally back gorin/ana (ana very articulately argued her point I felt) on this. There is but one subject that has been further emphasised by your DoF and composition. The fact the horizon isn't straight matters not but they are so much on the periphery, three cannot be justified.

I promise you, if I get a really good shot that is not relevant, I'll hold onto it. That way, when the them does come up and theme that suits arrives, the impact will be greater.

Generates an interesting debate none the less, fuelled by your insistence to being justified. We all agree, it is a good shot, just not relevant and marked accordingly. Sorry.

I belive i am wrong, I was in a hurry to upload a picture and uploaded this, thinking this way it can be counted. i tried to prove it on my own theory and it didnt worked out.. :)

Thanks to you all,

ahh now after reading i see your point well done :)

Thanks all,

... also, the line of the bird's wing, tail and leg against the sky looks kind of three-shaped.
