what the heck is it with the thinking this is someone elses art work? The picture looks like an original arcade machine. Looks like a part of a shoulder, like how you would watch when someone was playing it.
(Admin, is this better?)

It is normal not to discuss your photo in the forums before the end of the challenge.
While it is not a rule as such, it is generally not what is done. I suggest editing the thread or if you want I will hide it, until the challenge is over, because the thread may produce backlash onto your score.

I haven't voted on that shot yet, but maybe what is happening is that from the rules, it says that you can not use "work in it's entirety", some examples that have been discussed in the past are statues, computer screens, TV moniters, and the obvious, paintings and murals. While they aren't saying that it's someone elses work, they might be seeing it at something similar to what I just mentioned. I wouldn't worry about it, it doesn't break the rules, but you could write to Drew or Langdon to ask for an administrator's note to be added to say that it is in fact legal, and doesn't break the rules. You would have to provide proof, and they will do what they see nessasary. (obviously, I can't say that they WILL add one, cause I can't speak for them, but most likely they will do that for you). Good luck, and don't worry too much about it. It's just a missunderstanding on the commenters behalf.

And I do agree with Konador, discussing the photos ahead of time is generally looked down upon, and although it is unfortunate, some people will actually mark you down for doing so. Usually just better to grin and bear it till voting is over. Take care!

The rules state:
Literal photographic representations of the entirety 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, and computer artwork.
I do not like discussing images in the current challenge, but this shot is perfectly legal. The person's shoulder tells you exactly what the point of the shot is. They key to the rule is that literal interpretations (i.e. scanner-style) are not allowed.
For the umpteenth time, if you think this image breaks the rules recommend it for disqualification, and leave the determination up to the administrators.
