How does one distinguish between a "literal photographic representation" and a "creative depiction or interpretation" of exisiting art work? For example, I have seen photos of entire works of graffiti on the site (in prior challenges) - how does the rule apply?
Any input would be appreciated.

| I look for one of two things to be present, either something outside of the artwork piece to put it in context, or that the photo is cropped/modified so that not all of the original work is included. |

I have often wondered about this myself. For example there are a lot of photos of artwork in the glass challenge. I was always under the impression that these would not be legal but it doesn̢۪t appear that the rule is being enforced. I have tried to steer clear of photos of artwork as I thought this was against the rules. I personally don̢۪t care one way or the other what the picture is of so I never said anything about it before. I guess I just misinterpreted the rules on this one.

I am all confused about this now as well. I included once one art element among 3 other elements in a set-up shot and got a comment "don't care all that much for representations of art work in pics".
I kept that thinking in mind when i saw the Texas image in the postcard challenge. Thought it was one of the best submissions and a great representation of Texas, in my mind at least. Scored it lower (7) because it was a crop of a work of art, albeit with great lighting. |

This is the single most difficult rule for us as moderators to deal with. It is certainly the most subjective of all the challenge rules, as it is ultimately subjective.
My personal test for this rule is this: If a photograph is taken in such a way that it compels the viewer to rate the work of art represented, rather than the photographic representation of that work of art, then it probably violates the rule.

Nice thinking Terry - I think that follows the intention of the rule as I've had it my mind.
