I received the following:

With the amount of post processing that I put into this to achieve a '60s look, using techniques put forth in 2001 and numerous photo magazines of the time, I feel that this is no more a snapshot than than many of the fractal images and oof children's pictures that have appeared in the VB. Who's the Hitler who made that decision to stifle creativity.
I pulled and tugged on the controls of the attached photo until I created what I think is a surreal image in the spirit of "2001" and Popular Photograpy magazine of the '60s.
I made arrangements for a $2.4 million business jet and the use of a friend's daughter, and a brightly lighted hangar, played with the light and reflections to get the attached grainy, surreal image, only to have it called a snapshot.
The false-color shadows and graininess, along with the myriad of reflections on the cockpit of the AeroCommander, exemplified that the works era and was considered art in its day, and should be considered art, today.
Let the VB decide the worth, not a know-nothing censor.
