We can't do anything more than take each image on a case-by-case basis. The opinions on 2D art is endless - I have read up on this and Mixed Medium art for over a year now, looking for an easier way to describe it.  After great discussion, I have decided it stands as it is. Its clearer this way than attaching a 3 page information sheet to the top of the forum giving exceptions, rules and such.

I understand the feeling that if it starts a photo, it is a photo.

Tara, if you notice, that photo of the trees was left in Photography because I could see it wasn't a painting. I also could tell it wasn't a flat image for 2D.  And the pond and tree shot also.  They retained enough to say they were still enough photograph to stay in the Photo Gallery. 

I have seen both of these, as well as every other upload to the Photo, 2D and Mixed Medium Galleries that has been made in the last 2 years.  The ones that were moved, have explanations in their notification just like the one in this thread.  I only thought I'd share it to help people out.

There are at least 4 members who have come back after a long "vacation" and 3 new members who are posting for the first time, and all of them are having problems deciding where to post their heavily postworked 2D photos. 

I'd say, unless you've had something moved to 2D you are doing fine. And even if you have had one or two moved, at least you know a little better why that might have happened.

I like to make grilled burgers. When I set them on the table and get ready to eat, they are burgers.  They are not cows.  They are made from cows but I don't think any one will tell me to not bring cows into the kitchen. :-)
