Sunday challenge - Emotion - Storytelling Part4

Sunday challenge SC211 - Post 23 August - Storytelling Part4: Emotion
www.ipernity.com/group/daysincolour365/discuss/201058

It's interesting that most photos do not apparently actually show emotion, although often have an emotional response from the viewer, depending on the subject.
I also have a few photos showing emotion, mostly of family, and private.

This 2014 archive photo works - on our walk to Passage Peak in the Whitsundays, Queensland, Australia, view to Perseverance and Pentecost Islands. We love the Whitsundays, such a beautiful area, have been there many times.

On Sunday 3 June 1770 Captain James Cook sailed his ship H.M.B. Endeavour, through a broad expanse of islands which provided an unimpeded passage to the north. Cook named the passage "Whitsundays' Passage".

The Cumberland Islands form a group of 70 islands on the Great Barrier Reef, off the coast of Mackay in Queensland, Australia.

Over time "Isles" has been replaced by "Islands". More recently these islands have increasingly become known as the Whitsunday Islands, and the general area more simply as the "Whitsundays"..

The right moment to tell about the pure joy.
It takes me to a question, did this sequence bring you further in narrative photography?

Gillian Everett replied to PhLB - Luc Boonen:

Definitely. The most difficult element for me is the emotion. Most photos attract emotion but don't necessarily show an emotion in the subject.
This particular photo does answer your original questions in this series ...
"Before pressing the shutter, consider these four questions:
1. Who is the story about? (Subject)
2. Where is it happening? (Context)
3. What is happening right now? (Moment)
4. Why should someone care? (Emotion)

When all four are present, a photograph is much more likely to communicate a story that viewers can understand and remember."

It is possible to convey emotion more easily in photos which include people.
There are two photos this week which are very clever and creative in conveying emotion with inanimate objects.
