Thank you Ryan for your words. I am really disappointed and I disagree with the SC decision. Now I feel disheartened, but the best way to forget all of this was going out at dawn to take pictures and it's what I've done this morning. What hurts me is that is the second time that I get a DQ for being too honest... maybe it's my reward for being like this.

It's not my place to question the site council's decision. It does however leave me with much more questions and I can honestly say that I did not wish for this to happen. I only became aware of the big debate about this issue late in the discussion and upon reading it feared for the worst. Please don't be disheartened by this. Nobody wants to win or loose a Ribbon in this manner.

Because of this DQ, I will not try my "letter C" idea. I was going to use a photo in the BG.

I suspect that is the REAL reason for the DQ.

You could have done without the light painting on this. The color of the light is not complimentary and the shape is not very even. The light on the subjects is good. A little more shutter and it would have been better exposed.
