Just reposting (was in the members forum), so everyone gets the benefit of my definition of the botany challenge:
Botany is the science or study of plants. - blah blah blah
Capture - Go get your gun and set your wildlife traps to ensnare, or cage, or simply conquer
a well-composed image - a deep hole in the ground with water in it, which also has a musical score written on the side of the walls... I do have to include this definition of image: mental picture of something not real or present, so this means that it cannot be real, but has to be something only you can see in your mind.
that has plant life - should be a factory that has evolved into not just a thing of bricks and metal, but is now alive
as its central theme. - in other words make sure that it is exactly centered right in the middle of your photo, so to do this, just resize it down to be exactly 1 pixel in size and in the exact center, so that no one will be able to say that it is not centered.
So to summarize, be sure that your well with a musical score concerning a factory that is alive which only you can see in your mind is exactly one pixel in size and centered, with extra points for it being in a cage or a trap. :-)
Although I do love what Coolhar said about it: "A factory belching smoke with lots of busy workers scurrying around, maybe some forklifts with a little motion blur."
I sure hope this description of the challenge helps clarify what you should picture. And believe me if your picture doesn't meet my idea of the challenge, I will definitely rate you only a 1, and rant about how no one really understood the challenge. |
