Many of us are annoyed by such featuring.
I also had a face-palm moment when I saw this image -- mostly because, out of all of the tens of thousands of superb illustrations and photographs we have, this is the best we can do?
This piece does not seem to be educational in nature (and I don't mean "an education in how to use Inkscape"), and it is fairly poor art in all ways except technical proficiency with the tools used to create it. I think it would be more appreciated and more appropriate on one of the many sites designed for hosting amateur art; and we would do a better job of fulfilling our own particular mission by highlighting some of the unquestionably stunning and important works of art in our collection, of which there are many (for instance, we have paintings by Dürer and Cezanne that aren't yet featured).
Or perhaps, getting more people involved on the community selection
process.
This seems like a good plan. But I have a question for Commonistas: where? I was looking for the page where the "picture of the day" is discussed and chosen, and I can't find it. Can someone explain how this process works?
best, Phoebe
