I'm sorry people are upset I've won with this artwork but I was just trying to get involved with a good cause in raising awareness of breast cancer and felt this image promoted self checking in a subtle way.
thank you to PORS24, they have seen my art in the way it was intended.
In the future, citing your sources and striving to further transform a piece away from said sources to make it more uniquely your own would be something to consider, especially in a contest and or the professional world. Something that I've seen true is that by just transfering an image into a new medium, that does not make it transformed enough to be uniquely your own. Not crediting images and so directly deriving from them, even if they are multiple images pieced together like this skateboard image is, does seem to infringe on the original source.
I would also like to point out, for the sake of clarity, that I'm not saying this out of animosity myself, but rather more on the level of maintaining full respect for the original visual inspirations (such as through the citation an less heavily deriving from them). Clearly you have respect for the orginal photographer, I don't mean to imply that you don't, but these points are good things to remember.
Good intentions and good causes are to be commended, but unfortunately in something such as a contest there are rules to be abided by and criteria assigned. It was stated in the rules that use of 3rd party stock wasn't allowed, and as you have admitted and as it is made very clear when you are able to see the images side by side as others have so linked before, you did use other images as the basis of your work in a way that transforms them only a small amount (ie: collaging 2 elements to create an entire image and a change in medium). In the end we will have to see if the judges take this into consideration and decide if it is permissable for your entry to retain it's rank.
Sorry again.
Art to me is universal but Art does have limitations and this is one them. We saw different point of views, we just leave it to the judges and see what will happen. NO ARGUMENTS.
