Indian wisdom "The picture expresses a thousand words"

Hello

Nice theme

I am relaxed for every beautiful view especially the flowers and beauty and colors wonderful

Dear Colleagues,

Good Day,

I prefer to have photos that are odd, different, attractive and they do not occur again. I would like sharing them with the others. I like to make the date on the back so I could refer to them from time to time and try to remember the occasion.

Thank you Dr. Hazim for this observation, it is beautiful that the person follow the pictures and the most beautiful that he can pick them himself

Greetings

Hello dear 

I like pictures too much. I feel relaxed when seeing roses, sea, or sky pictures.  I usually keep a picture application in my phone to see when feel annoyed. Thank you so much for this interesting question.

Hi, happy when i look at pictures of nature, sea, birds. flowers, waterfalls, etc.

I feel

The wonders of nature marvel me whenever I look at the pictures of the diversities of life. The harmony in their intricate lines and colors always wow me. The pictures of nature which I am enthused and watch very often like the blink of my eyes have nurtured in me the passion to conserve these excellent artworks in nature. Best regards

I like pictures of innocent and cute babies with their expressions which make me relax. Also i get a good feeling when seeing images of greenery and natural beauty. I feel somewhat negative on seeing some typical paintings with colour combinations which only professional painting lovers can recognise and I am not able to understand and I feel stressed when I try to understand the theme in that painting

Dr. Azhar

What do you prefer from the pictures?

Personally I prefer pictures that can prompt me to:

Photos are meant for preserving a special moment in your life (your convocation day with the gown on and the Degree Certificate in hand, your first day in office with the boss, photo of you and your life-partner on the first day you met, the view of a beautiful natural object like a flower, a colourful bird, a weird insect, a group of lion basking in sun  etc.) for future viewing.

I personally like photos, where you are portrayed in a simple way showing your natural expression at that moment and not an artificial one, wherein you are always showing your teeth out.    

I prefer the idea then the beauty of the picture

Thank you Dear Isam Issa Omran for your nice comment

My wish for success

Dear Dr. Azhar hope you are doing well

In my opinion, the picture can transform the negative impression into positive impression at the long-term span of memory.

Dear Dr. Asim

You have chosen the beautiful wisdom because the picture is already speaking and it is silent

Dear Dr. Salam

Thank you for your interest and your nice answers to my question already as you say many beautiful pictures do it

 Dear Jasna Davidovic

Thank you for your beautiful answer

Photography, chart, diagram, drawing enrich expression and often say what is very difficult to say with words. 

Dear Zdenka Popović

Thank you for your attention and your beautiful answers already in many times the picture or any sensory expression explaining what we are unable or difficult to describe by speech

Pictures are the world of colors. I escape to them usually to change my mood.

Dear Colleagues, Good Day,

"What excites me about picture books is the gap between pictures and words. Sometimes the pictures can tell a slightly different story or tell more about the story, about how someone is thinking or feeling."

----- Anthony Browne

Dear Hazim Hashim Tahir Not all books are as you say, but some of them have this gap but I agree with you in some of them

I wish you health and success

  My perfect friend

Dear Colleagues, Good Day,

"One picture is worth ten thousand words."

----- Chinese proverb.

I contradict nearly all of my forerunners. Pictures have their own valuable function as pictures. Within scientific discussion their function is limited to the task to clear such matters, which need clarification or prove for instance by photos.

There are two kinds of mis-use (not to say abuse) of pictures (photos) in a written text with claim to truth.

1. The first mis-use we have to consider regards the fact that photos often give no additional information to the text, they only have the function to make the text something more "interesting" for the reader (only intending to improve the number of readers), newspaper and journals do work In this way. Have a look on the (invented) message: "The illiterate rate has increased 2,5 percent in the United States within the last year!" Normally such message will be illuminated by a photo - for example - of a (any) student sitting in the bank, or a of any typical picture of US, let us say the statue of liberty. Both photos don't afford any additional valuable information, qutite the contrary, they devalue - seen from the content of the message - the given information, regarding illiterates. But in our "picturesque" world of media people can't catch any information without an additional optic stimulus. The mankind of modern age is picture-addicted.

2. The second mis-use is to pretend to give more information by an added photo to the text, but the intention is a kind of instrumentalizing readers. An additional photo can steer reader's glance of an desired effect. So the information that government spread out a call-up for war-service is acquainted with photos of the own military power and archive-photos of victorious troops and a happy family.

A further example for instrumentalizing scientific texts by pictures. A highly evaluated text of experts, famous scientists, recommends fracking, with photos of a flourishing landscape and a happy family, dancing on a wonderful meadow.
