Thank you everyone for your comments, I did debate about entering it or not but decided that since my daughters and I had put so much work into painting the window and everything............NOT! But seriously, it is a poster, tacked to the outside of my kitchen window. My oldest daughter stood on a ladder holding a 500 Watt light behind the waterfall while the youngest held the ladder steady. So that is how it was done. I do appreciate all the comments received! :)
Validated or not, this is a photo of an existing artwor and if I were on the Site Council, this would have gotten my vote for disqualification as this photo would not be anything without the artwork. Forgive me but that is just how I feel and that is why I gave this a 2, just figured you deserve at least an explanation for my low vote.
Kinda cheesy... would have prefered to see what is actually out the window... the painting/print just didnt photograph well... I do like how you used selective desat
I like the black and white frames better then the center. And somewhere in they rules they say that it is not alowed to take photo of someones else art.
