Unfortunately, we have had to DQ the 2nd-place image in "Lens Flare II" for inability to provide a valid original. The error was inadvertent, but it is instructive; the photographer had a brand new camera and his processing software did not recognize the RAW file, so he made a DNG out of the original in order to process it. Unfortunately, he discarded the actual original RAW files, and the DNG shows as a "modified" file that was created at a different time than the actual exposure.
Congrats to our new ribboner and HM! |
