About Physiognomics

Definition:
Physiognomics is the 'science' of interpreting human character, intelligence, and virtue by analyzing physical appearances.
More Definitions

Nasty Definition:
Judge people on the way they look.

Why would you want to be nasty?
Just for fun. Maybe because there's something you cant write on somebody's comments, but it's a free speech forum here. All comments and snide remarks are limited to forum discussions only.

How does it work?
To get your photo Physiognometrized :

1. Start a new discussion.
2. Post a medium size photo [Here's how]
3. Feel free to add a little context: Who, Where, What. (optional)
4. Wait for judements.
5. DO NOT GET PISSED.

Rules:
No fixed rules. Only if you have posted a picture, please go through other threads and judge other people\'s submission too. Let loose, the subject wont track you or stalk you.

No physiognomic commenting on the photo's page. The person who posted the image may leave a link to the discussion thread if he/she wants to.

No fighting and trolling on judgements. Remember, you're submitting the photo out of your own free will, be a good sport.

Common Sense:
Dont post a photo on which you cant take slightly nasty judgements. (e.g. That photo of granny is nice, but if you cant stand people judging her, fight the urge to post it)

Best to post photos of strangers whom you dont know, so even you can pass a few judgements.

What to post?
Portraits. People portraits. Could be face or full body (posture helps). Could even be animal photos, doesnt matter!! It's all about judging.

What not to post?
Landscapes. Still life. Macro shots of people (hard to physiognomify looking at the top part of someone's left ear). Car photos, your empty room, empty streets at night etc are a no-no.

Although street scenes with lots of people are fine, so are party photos of visible people. Heck, even insect shots are fine, if they have character.

What now?
Join the group (if you still havent), go pick a portrait from your photostream and start a new thread. Dont forget to judge other photos. Enjoy.

Regarding group pool:
No rules yet. Add to pool before/during/after judgements have been passed. Doesnt really matter. Only post THOSE photos which are in the discussion forums.
