Unfortunately, we've had another DQ, this time the 3rd place finisher has been DQ'd for moving an element within the composition.
Congratulations to the newest Ribbon and HM winners.
LOL Lev lined up the birds? I think we're watching the art of photography transform before our eyes!
One bird, and not by much, Judge by yourself, this is the entry
and this is the original,
Alas, it appears now that it is still forbidden. Since it wasn't mentioned explicitly in the rules, I assumed that small displacements (not changing the image in a qualitative way) were permitted. Oh well, live and learn. My second DQ in 1200 challenges ). The good news is that my team apparently still won the second round. Until I had checked that, I felt pretty awful.
I didnt notice this until I had both images on different tabs to look (I agree that there is a small displacement of the bird, that I only noticed when rapidly toggling between the photos. Then I noticed that in your entry, bird number three has a spiked wing because of some transform? edits (not sure how to do that myself).
Either way, too bad about the DQ, both images are fantastic.
At first glance, on your photo I thought “what are the chances that all those birds are lined up so perfectly”. I mean it does happen sometimes. How was it that your team members did not think it could be disqualified?
