Well, to call it a 'monitor picture' seems a little off base.
It was accomplished by photoshopping an image up, then placing a layer of plastic wrap over my monitor, then placing a sheet of frosted mylar(which I have 'treated' with coffee, oils, and sandpaper) on a cut-out in a box, and then focused on and shot the mylar with just a bit of back-lighting to enhance textures.
So yeah. It's a 'monitor picture', or at least, the monitor is what's providing the blotchy patches of colored light.
It's much more similar really to the ribbon from the cutout challenge which was validated ages ago, although I did add in a bit more work to the process this time to get a more creative result and to hopefully satisfy those who question whether or not this is a valid technique. In any case, it's significantly more involved than simply snapping a picture of my monitor.
As for the validation on the one I called myself out on? Still no word. SC is either debating it still, or have simply forgotten? No idea. In the end though, I decided to enter as I thought the technique was amazingly well suited to this challenge, and I don't see much difference between projecting light from a monitor onto this surface, or projecting the light through a lens onto this surface.. (since it's basically the same material I use in my large-format digital machine...).
