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

Most of the picture looks like someome else's work. A photograph of a picture? I don't think it works well

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.

I hope that we find out how you did this as it is very good. Pitty the central picture is not a little sharper but one of my favourites - thank you

Lurid. Better to have been done using a real aquarium rather than a poster - if that is what the colour picture is.
