This pic I see is intended as social comment, though some what isolated from environmental context, not entirely. I think it is acceptable as much as a sculpture would be acceptable..... I think the dq ruling as literal representation might apply only if intention to deceive a viewer is absolutely pronounced and demonstrated. Not so on this foto. The beauty of graffiti is the tenacity - that it keeps getting reborn even after being erased, covered, painted over and DQ'd.....

I enjoy this... in the context of the circle, but also by bringing the (human form) swimmer nicely into the composition. Good work.

Hydrangea
by admart01

Comment:
Strong background saturation i find attractive it sublimates your field, but with plenty of detail - Your beautiful hydrangea, admitedly under flat light lacks the balanced tonal vitality of the background. Possibly sharpness in the file is partially to blame, but I think you could coax some more dynamic qualities from that bloom.
