This requires that the interesting images have been
categorized as having red flowers. I could just as well
hope that the description text mentions red flowers,
and do a full text search. Both will fail, because this
detailed level of categorization/description is lacking.

Even though this picture is categorized as "fruit vendors",
it isn't categorized as apples, bananas, cherries, peaches,
and pears, or paper crates, or string, or mostly shadow
with a little sunshine on a sidewalk. With 21 million files,
how can we reach that level of detail in documentation?
