Picture Doesn't Match Wiki Loves Love 2019 Edition Scope

Hello, Beeblebrox. As you may know, the theme for Wiki Loves Love 2019 is festivals, celebrations, ceremonies and rituals of love. Although your photo seems fine with general criteria of Wikimedia Commons, its subject doesn't seem to pertain the theme on which Wiki Loves Love focus in its current edition. Neither the visualization of the photo nor the reading of the description given provide enough context to enable understand in which manner the photo could pertain to the theme. If you nonetheless estimate that the photo do pertain to the theme, then please provide more information about that, so we can consider reintegrating in photos illegible in the contest. Of course you also are welcome to provide more photos that you think relevant for the theme of this edition, and we encourage you to do so. With lot of Wiki Love, in the name of the Wiki Loves Love team, Psychoslave (talk) 15:41, 4 March 2019 (UTC)

Psychoslave The first word in the description is "festivals". Now, I'll grant this was not as big as many festivals, the headlining entertainer backed out at the last minute and it rained quite a bit, so crowds were smaller than anticipated but it was a festival, and a celebration of the total legalization of cannabis in Alaska. If that somehow still doesn't fit the criteria that's fine, but that was my rationale. Beeblebrox (talk) 18:01, 4 March 2019 (UTC)

Thank you Beeblebrox for your feedback. An error is possible from our part of course. However, it doesn't seem that love itself play a central role in this festival, does it? Moreover the contest rules don't accept crop of photos that were already on Commons prior to the contest start. --Psychoslave (talk) 06:03, 5 March 2019 (UTC)
