Would you define this as a powerful image? Why or why not? Is it important to create powerful imagery? Why or why not?

This image is super powerful. I have more respect for the U.S. military than probably anyone. They have more courage, pride, and guts than anyone, and it is because of them America is free, so all of those emotions flood through my veins when I see this image. It is vital for a photograph to be strong. Otherwise it lacks uniqueness and substance. When an image is not strong, the viewer typically has an indifferent attitude towards it, and emotion it the driving force behind art. If it doesn't arouse emotion, it isn't doing its job.
y7es this is a very powerful image, even though u dont know who the people are they seem like there gonna travel where the leafe travels, i really like this image,
this image is extremely powerful. i agree with becca, i have to much respect for the military.
i love the effect of this image too, and i love how its faded. its so different in its own unique way.

I would define this as a powerful image because to me it looks likes it was an image that has long been forgottened and someone just stumbled apon it. I think it kind of repersents how the soldiors in the vietnam war were treated when they returned home.
I think it is very important to create images that have powerful meanings because if they dont have a powerful meaning then they won't move people or inspire them.
I honestly don't see this image as the most powerful one that I've ever seen, but it does send a message. Since I can't really tell what the people are doing, it's hard for me to judge. The texture is the most powerful element in this image.
I would describe this as a powerful image because it represents the veitnam and american war and the people who died in that war.
This is a very powerful image. The reason being is because it shows the pain and death of the war through the dead leaf.
I would definitely describe this as a powerful image. It looks like there are soldiers upon a blanket that was tossed up in the air or maybe a torn sheet of paper. Maybe even a leaf but I think that if its on a blanket then it'll have the most impact of importance because wars come and go just as if a blankets thrown into the air and falls back down. Soldiers are usually forgotten for their hard work and honestly arent honored enough. So its like...theyre thrown over to war...and then back home again as if everything was alright.
Powerful imagery speaks to people. It tells people a story or gives them something to think about other than their lives. Its sometimes an escape route for people who enjoy photography. Inspiration can come from a powerful image to take a photo based off of it or even apply the message it sends to their own life.
This is a really powerful image, my respect for the men and women of our armed forces is deep within my veins to begin with. But, when looking at this image it swims through my body with an equal amount of emotion, respect, and remembrance. It is important to me because I personally know many veterans of a few different wars, including both wars in Iraq, Vietnam, and World War II. I think it is important to create this type of important imagery and it is the only way that memories such as this will be remembered because after all of the veterans die, and all of the history books' printing has been outdated, I think imagery will be the only one to survive
I dont think that when u look at it that it is a powerful image right away but if you look into it it could really mean something to you or the artists. To me it symbolizes family together or when the people from china had to travel for war and how they all stuck together.
This image is definitely powerful, and I think the medium in which it is expressed is just as powerful. It's as though the leaves which saw these soldiers pass by are telling their side of a story. It's like that old addage, "if these walls could talk." In this instance, the "walls" are talking. Powerful photography is definitely essential. Anyone can take a photograph, but not many can put meaning into it.
I guess it's a powerful image, but I just wish it had more to it. Like it's cool they way it's all portrayed and all but alittle to blank. Like how ya doin? But yeah..... I dont see how this has anything to do with the wars though. But I do think there should be powerful imagery to look at because it's better then most boring nonpowerful images when it comes to looking at, I guessss......
