I have already posted my pic, but was wondering if anyone came up with a different take on the garden topic....I think there were quite a few that may get over looked....
I couldn't get a 'garden shot' without the damned flowers getting in the way. Its a flower garden and the crappy things are everywhere. I hope the voters will be tolerant and understanding. Good luck to ya, if you have something without flowers, I know some people who will rejoice! 8-)
Kinda discussed this a bit before, but for example there is Madison Square Garden..."in the garden" would be an indoor shot of maybe a concert or something! However, not all of us could get there and back home in time for the challenge.....I hear ya about the flowers tho....
man, who'd of thought that flowers of the world would be hated and called crappy. i thought that was reserved for weeds. hehehhe.
how bout how things in the garden look underground aka roots.

Definition of weed: Something you don't want to grow where it is growing. This means that a flower growing in the middle of the lawn could be referred to as a weed.

Well, I don't really hate flowers (check my portfolio), I was just trying to soften up the flower-hating crowd a little, because my entry DOES have a couple of stray blooms in it. Now, my cover is blown...
i agree joannadiva. in fact im gonna post mine today with flowers and cop whats comin to me. it has tons on flowers but any one flower isnt the main subject, its a tree really, with flowers on it.
A plot of land used for the cultivation of flowers, vegetables, herbs, or fruit.
gardens Grounds laid out with flowers, trees, and ornamental shrubs and used for recreation or display. Often used in the plural: public gardens; a botanical garden.
A yard or lawn.
A fertile, well-cultivated region.
An open-air establishment where refreshments are served.
A large public auditorium or arena.
unfortunately, though, from considerable past experience, i've found that it's usually the strictest most literal interpretations that don't get bad votes.
for some reason, i dont think the majority of the users of this site come from a more artistic/imaginative background.
we've railed against that but it seems really difficult to change.
the mantra has become "do a non-literal interpretation and knowingly recieve low/doesnt meet the challenge votes and comments" or "try to placate the voters".
I think imagination is nearly extinct. It's like asking someone to do the dishes and when they say they are finished you notice they didn't do the cups, glasses, and silverware. Or should I say imagination is literaly extinct.

It is a shame there is not more points or consideration for artistic merit tho....would be nice. Anybody know of other sites that are more inclined to that??
An outtake of mine, from this competition (I didn't enter it, or anything much like it, honest. Don't click if you don't like looking at outtakes): a non-flower garden fixture.
