I'm by far not a purist and a proponent of postwork.
From my point of view the rules are just not clear. While there are situations, where you combine photo's - e.g. in a sequence, or in a collage of separate images - the introduction of elements, that were not in the original photo - like those cute Fairiewings or things like that automatically qualify as belonging to the 2D Gallery. And were's the harm in that?
My main point is that the gallery already is almost impossible to follow, and add to it all the images that not really belong there, thus making it even more difficult.
If I'm interested in seeing Mixed Media, Poser, Vue, 2D or whatever - I go there.
Adding a new category will not really help, since they will show up as well, when browsing the gallery.

A solution would be if R'osity finally came around and took advantage of the new PHP/SQL structure and would put this combination to good use, allowing the user to define what he wants to see - e.g. have customized results for his convenience. Technically not really too difficult, since every image is already tagged with main and sub category.
If a user could select one more main categories plus the subcategories, he's interested in - this preference could be saved and that would be it...

But the least that should be done is to clarify the rules and remove rubber paragraphs like defining something in 40 -49%. That's BS. What if I say it's 49% and you as a Moderator say it's 50%? Do you want to fight that out with me?

So to be unmistakingly clear - if you introduce elements not in the original image it belongs in 2D. Period.

I see it like in Books - fiction and non-fiction. How difficult can that be?
