//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fine_art

The first sentence shows that "fine art" is basically anything... Am I completely off here? Or is this just another way of saying "Free-studies"?

Key words as I see it are "Modern" OR "Contemporary"

Basically you need to look at:

Modern Art
Contemporary Art
Abstract Art
and finally, Fine Art Photography

ETA: My favorite

Honestly, I added that as a measure of balance.. I really do doubt that's the real spirit here, I would pay more attention to the modern art article, and the links at the bottom of it for the different movements, as a matter of a fact, I would like to see people list the movement they are following in their titles to give us a better chance to judge how well they fit the genre they were going for..

I would also really, really like to see one or more follow up challenges for a specific movement.

So anything abstract would work? Maybe I'll work on my macro skills this week... Who knows? :)

At least that is my take on what is a safe bet here...

Basically if it's a sharp photo, one that is, in any way, stock-photo like, you will probably suffer the wrath of angry pitchfork-wielding mobs of chaotic DPC villagers, or...... at least get more than a few 1's..

But really, that's just my interpretation, I'd love to hear how some others are approaching this one...
