Well, I've nothing against on-topic* abstracts (although in general they don't
rate much higher than 10, and I'm pretty harsh on multiple abstract entries from
one artist - "and here's the same image, but green!").

For realistic images, well if someone *really* has made an image for a round,
but manages to be off-topic (I fell into that trap myself in the wilderness
round), sorry, but they're going down....

* for instance, if someone submitted  www.lindamann.com/otherpainters/rothko.jpg
for the topic "Winter", I wouldn't have a problem, but if they submitted
www.haberarts.com/rothko.jpg they'd be getting the short-straw.

Umm, well aside from the obvious problem - ah, you knew what I meant...
