The only problem I can see with this is it would've been nice to be able to choose more than one genre for any image. Pictoral art, much like literature is sometimes difficult to classify (even by the artist/writer) into any one single category. I've got one recent image up, for example, the Queen of Elfland, it's inspired by a real English ballad. Does that make it historical? But the subject is, perhaps, mythical? Does that make it fantasy? The people back then really believed in elves, and thought they were real, so they wouldn't have considered it fantasy. Maybe glamour would be appropriate, but then, the usage in modern terms doesn't necessarily fit with the archaic meaning, as someone else posted above. It's a great change for the galleries, but only being able to choose one single genre for an image seems a little like trying to sterotype your work. Just my tuppence, though, -hecate
