Joyce,
Your challenge to us is to create a piece of fine art. Are you narrowing the intended interpretation of Repeat?

JAG

Many times in fine art prints, you will see repeating patterns. So the answer to your question would be yes.

I keep wanting to just do texture - like a gravel driveway or a brick walk. Which the brick could really be repeated, but ...

Could be interesting with the right lighting. Give it a go and see what you can come up with!

It's cloudy today so I've gone with something that is a repeated form rather than these things which I see as mostly texture

JAG

You should start a new thread and post your images there so that you can get feed back for your images. I unfortunately have to stay neutral to all images and cannot give critiques or advice.

I've already made my decision for better or worse and posted it in the Challenge. Those were the rejects because I think those are possible as pieces of art but do not meet the criteria for repeating images. I love the photo of the stacked bricks, but it isn't a repeating image because the bricks are all kittywampus. The closest to a repeating image is the one of the porch floorboards in my opinion. (These are all pictures of my house BTW)

Hi Jag,
I just posted my photo for the contest & it shows the modified time only. I posted the link to the only two composites I used & they show the date & time created & modified. Also the pic shows the time & date created in bridge. Don't know what else to do. Any suggestions or are the posted composites enough. Will be back on the road tomorrow & won't be able to change anything.

Thanks

What I am seeing in the gallery is that your first one says please delete, and your second one does not say anything. Including your user name or title. I am sure if you put a link to the composite images will be fine as long as they have the created date on them. I hope you do go back in and make sure to add the information! Good luck!

EDIT: now that you have added the link. I have PM'ed you. I hope you get it before you leave!

I'm new here so a bit confused where challenge images are posted? I only see the few above in this thread.
