The Seasonal Reading Challenge discussion

10.2. Art Appreciation
Read a book that has a framed painting or framed photograph on the cover. A partial framed painting or photograph is okay, but there must be enough showing to tell that this is what it is. Empty frames cannot be used.

REQUIRED: Include the cover in your post.

these work:

won't work:

PLEASE NOTE:

After the cover for was approved in post 31, someone changed the cover on the book. The cover that was originally approved included a framed photo - the current cover for this edition now does NOT include a frame on the photo. The approved cover has been updated in post 2.

If you read the edition with the framed photo (regardless of the change made on GR), please be sure to link to the proper cover if you post this book for this task.

OK, so how do you feel about The Goldfinch? It's all about a painting, but the painting itself is only partial:

Suzanne wrote: "OK, so how do you feel about The Goldfinch? It's all about a painting, but the painting itself is only partial: "

The task requires a "framed" picture or painting on the cover and there's no frame visible, so this won't work.

It's a good book, though, so I hope you find somewhere else to put it.

Take 2: This is photoshopped as all get out, but is it acceptable? Eternal Beauty

The Goldfinch works for 5.3. It's currently on page 1 of the list.

Sorry, no. It's not a framed photo or painting, since the body shows that the frame is just being held around his face.

Okay- Thanks.

Yes, the partials on the sides are enough to tell that they are framed photos.

thank you

is this enough of a frame? It's very simple.

Verifying enough of this frame shows -

Book Concierge wrote: "Verifying enough of this frame shows - "

yes

I just want to verify the requirements. Is it a photograph or a framed painting?

For example, would this work?

Or does the photograph have to be framed as well?

Thank you

"framed" modifies both photograph and painting.

Sandy wrote: ""framed" modifies both photograph and painting."

So this book would NOT work?

No frame around the picture unless you count the white edges as a frame.

A frame is something that is added to a picture, not part of the picture itself (like the edges of a photo)

Sandy wrote: "Cindy wrote: "How about "

yes"

So given your new ruling in post #46, I am confused how this one got approved. (Not looking to make trouble, but trying to understand.)

Is this approved:

There's a frame above the woman, behind the text of the title.

So this doesn't work? If not how did get approved? I don't see a frame on the photograph.

How about ...
