I saw this under the DQ's in the Hands Challenge. My question is...why would a handprint be a DQ, but the #4 image not be?
I am not writing this to start trouble, as I rated the #4 image highly, but I was puzzled when I voted and am still puzzled now.
I have never requested a DQ and won't start now...I really just want an answer. Does anybody know the difference?

Hope this doesn't hurt anybody.
Thank you.

OOPS! Just now saw the other discussion about this. (red-faced)

There is another thread running on same subject right now. Check it out here.

As has been raised in other threads recently, this is not DQable because of the addition of an *actual* hand in the photo, providing a three dimensional aspect and incorporating an element of the photographer's own creativity.

Good explanation of the literal artworks rule here.

Sorry! I saw the other discussion just as soon as I posted this question.
Thank you for directing me and explaining. I will go read the finer points.
