Was it legal at the time? Also...what would have to be done to this type of shot under current rules to make it legal?

Thanks

Edit: I just read the rule again. I can't be sure but I think it is the same as it was when I entered this photo.

Artwork: Literal photographic representations of existing works of art (including your own) are not considered acceptable submissions, however creative depictions or interpretations are permissible. This includes, but is not limited to paintings, sculptures, photographs, drawings, computer artwork, computer monitors, and televisions. A literal representation is one which is composed in such a way as to compel the voter to rate only the work of art represented and not the artistic decisions made by the photographer (e.g., lighting, composition, background elements, etc).

Judging by the current rule I just posted it seems that my cat should still pass the test...however, my guess is that it would be a DQ.

Originally posted by alanfreed: As much as you have been posting this shot lately, I think it's worth mentioning that it would very likely NOT be legal under the current rules. People would be inclined to vote on the photographic qualities of the cat, which makes the picture-of-a-picture concept illegal here. Just adding a hand or other minor element to a picture-of-a-picture is no longer legal.

I would have given this an 8 but being as the 2nd "full" tack from the top left is bent...would have forced me to give you a 2 !

Some dude named Joey L. actually made a lot of dough explaining his process....and I think the process you developed in "basic" rivals his in "advanced".

Originally posted by LydiaToo: No fun??! Consider again please, Tom. It was a Basic Editing challenge and you have so many people questioning your talent even AFTER you've passed validation? Consider this a compliment of the highest regard! I personally congratulate you on your ribbon and encourage you to take all 'questions' as compliments and as opportunities to help others grow in the photography course as you have. Tell all. Then, you'll be a hero. *smile* Congrats again.
