Too bad to see this DQ. Mine was aswell. IMOA the Date Modified is a strange way to detect this specially on archived photos. Mine was 10 years old and had been copied from one hard drive to another and this changed the Date Modified. When I travel I do download my files on a temporary storage and then it gets put in my permanent storage when I am home. This changes the Date Modified at least on Windows machines.
Too bad that your entry got DQ too, I really liked your image, and that was one of my high score.
I shot this as RAW image in 2006; then in 2014 Converted to DNG using Adobe Lightroom feature. I was under the impression that providing RAW or DNG provide means it's unaltered. I am not aware of any usual photo editing software allow RAW and DNG format to be edited and save back again as RAW or DNG.
