[An update for anyone curious: My photo of artichokes recently hung in a second art show at school this time, and was just purchased for $15. I think it was more for pity than a love of the print, but hey! That's a good couple skiens of cheap acrylic or cotton yarn, so who am I to complain!]
That artichoke photo is really neat, I don’t see why you keep dissing it. It has a really nice texture, and the pattern of the artichoke leaves is awesome.
