That said: Jesus: the blend between the handle & background isn't quite perfect, but compression really does seem to accentuate it rather badly. JPG doesn't seem to like the sharp transition between solid colors.
Thanks also robert, for your considered opinion. Much better than a simple "This Stinks", and certainly provides some food for thought. I'd love to see examples of your work, for instruction and inspiration. Could you post a link to your gallery?
Speaking of "ART", that definition is certainly in the eye of the beholder. Is this “art”??? Well, I'm just glad that's not my call to make, and I have not vested interest in what each individual may decide. Personally, my attempt here was to capture the interplay of the various curves and circles and arcs in this everyday object, which I found on our kitchen stove. And while robert doesn’t find anything “serendipitous” here, I feel my discovery (or notice) of these interactions to be just that. And the image does seem to have captured some people’s eyes, and created some emotional responses, mostly positive (at least of those who felt moved to comment).
Granted, my humble rendering of a teapot doesn't begin to compare with the most influential piece of modern art ever:

Jesus: I certainly did not take offense at your comments, or think you were trying to undervalue my work. Sorry if I was abrupt.
I did use magic wand on this, but touched up the edges manually. Comparing the image in my files, and the image displayed here DOES show a difference along the edges. But I'll be happy to discuss outside this forum, and see if I can improve my skills!
