Well, darn. But your attitude is perfect! Many more of these to come. And of course the lesson is: NEVER DELETE ANYTHING UNTIL THE CHALLENGE IS OVER.

So sorry to see this get Dq'd...take heart that if you do it once you can do it again...I got a Dq for one of my FS (no where near the top of the heap) and because I used Picasa at the time to download my photos it did something to my files that I was unaware of...Because of that incident I won't even use the computer's automatic download or Ps' automatic downloads I only directly download from Camera to Computer (corded not using a card reader as I'm afraid something will happen to my card and I've seen many here trying to use recovery software for their card readers) to my EHD's...(Also, I now only shoot in RAW)

I think they (the site council) are just waiting for the 48 hour clock to count down. I only have the original DNG file (which even has a bit of the towel that I used to wipe up the tea spills with, still in it), but it is not the file that came out of the camera, so to speak. Rules are rules, I suppose. Yes, blue tak is my new best friend - that stuff rocks, and I've already used it in another shot.

I agree with Sue, I haven't seen an image where the lowest score is 5. A simple yet powerful image, Well done!

Congrats on your first blue Karen. Lowest score is a 5, fantastic effort. Very cute idea :-)
