If graffiti is considered an art, would this violate one of the rules in depicting artwork of someone else? Or even if it were your own?

Beautiful shot! I would've slightly boosted saturation of the dragonfly. Excellent detail on the wings and body but would've liked to see the entire dragonfly in focus including wings in the foreground and tail end of the body.

Interesting that you included the shadow for color. Great lighting and strong contrast but I think what hurts this photo is a bit too shallow DOF. I'd like to see the entire grasshopper in focus, hind legs included.

Photos of other photos, is this allowed?

Artwork. Literal photographic representations of the entirety of existing works of art (including your own) are not considered acceptable submissions, however creative depictions or interpretations of "art" are permissible. This includes, but is not limited to: paintings, sculptures, photographs, drawings, computer artwork, computer monitors, and televisions.

I love this photo! Strong contrast, the lighting, the emotion.. very powerful. Excellent choice to leave the reflection in color, almost leaves you wondering which is reality. You should score highly with this photo, my pick for top3.

Incognito in a world of colour

Nice and sharp! You've found Nemo! Composition is a tad boring though being smack dab in the center, almost looks copy/paste. Perhaps offsetting the fish or having its tankmates (assuming there are other fish in there) in the frame as well would make it more interesting. Capturing the fish in midturn or feeding also helps to make the fish look more natural instead of a static image.

Nice attempt, but I don't think the ladybug is brightly colored enough to scream attention or grab focus, even if everything else around it was selectively desaturated. Perhaps much more contrast of the floor, blowing out the highlights and.or overexposing it would help it to "pop out."

Other than that, technically a good photo.

Red with Envy

This image barely looks desaturated. The red rings around the lens don't make the photo anymore interesting. Clever title, but I don't think it helps the image. Focus seems a bit soft.

Beautiful photo with the butterfly in sharp focus (at least the top half). Interesting to choose the flowers to be colorized, I would've chosen the butterfly but that's what makes this photo different. Selection of the flowers under the butterfly seems a bit "loose" as parts of the background were left out when desaturating.

I find the elements in the foreground (bars and fence) to be distracting. Selective desat did help to single this officer out, but it still is a rather uninteresting photo.
