Votes and awards
It is very sad that people always feel jealous for votes and awards in this site, ePHOTOzine is the friendliest community on the net...so if you spend some time for the others they shall obviously spend some time for you and this is very natural and you can find everywhere you go on the net...there is no wrong...i vote for almost every images and place comments on a few images which i like and put my Award on those images which i think fit...

I don't know but I would guess that the award is given for the quality of the photograph not the art it portrays. It is quite easy to take a bad photo of someone else's artwork. And if one has a religion then most natural objects could be said to be 'someone else's art'.
mmm interesting..
Never ever assume If I was jealous of votes I would not be on this site or contributing especially given the number I receive
Good point Tianshi even if the art has been created by "the laws of nature" like you say the quality of the photograph, the way it has been framed and portrayed are in my opinion worthy of votes

Many Images we take are “somebody else’s art” either by Man or by Nature, what sets us apart as photographers is capture within a rectangle or square, rendering three dimensions to two and removing four senses to create a pleasing result, awarding points, awards and prizes seems in the main to be highly subjective, I enjoy the photographic process and if I receive some kind of award then that is a welcome bonus.
Photographing art covers so many areas of activity. Photographing sculpture is a passion of mine, it's about the challenge of rendering three dimensions to two as peterjones says, also of creating something that is in your own style but an honest interpretation that is true to the original work.
Then street art - so often it's about context, relationship to surroundings.
Plus people's response to art, their interaction. It's amazing how passers-by will unconsciously mimic a sculpture in their body language. That's a subject in its own right.
So much of what we photograph is the creation of others. Architecture, fashion, most of our landscape come to that...

I was at a club competition a few years ago, one of the photos was a straight on picture of a modern pub sign, nothing else, just the sign. It won.
