When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

"Thus Danny Lyon opts for the concept of the personal record, ....with the individuals and situations he is portraying: from his FORCEFUL SHOTS OF LIFE in a texas gaol ..."
"Quite possibly, HIS SEQUENCES, AND ALSO HIS INDIVIDUAL SHOTS, ACQUIRE GREATER FORCEFULNESS in the work titled Max Kozloff, published by way of an accompaniment to his travelling exhibitions held at a number of U.S. institutions."

The term "force of an image" is quite prevalent in our language, suggesting a strong and aggressive impact when simply saying "aggressive" would sound a little out of context.
These images show the root of such usage in a noun form:
"Now 89, Morricone is still producing great music. But even among a career of celebrated highs, 50 years on Once Upon a Time in the West stands as his opus. An unparalleled DRIVING FORCE OF THE IMAGES and story it serves."

"Again, contrast The Cell, where the whole point of the film, for the audience, is to get inside Carl Stargher’s mind, to experience the compelling imaginative FORCE OF THE IMAGES and motifs that make up his misogynistic, necrophilic outlook."

...Therefore using "forceful" as an extension of "force of an image" would definitely convey the correct idea.

@TomInLondon perhaps this is not a real ProZ question, but I am in doubt.
