 My DQ'd entry from the Games Challenge. Downloaded from DPC and re-uploaded.

When I cropped the image, I inadvertantly dragged the cropping marquee outside of the image area at the top by a couple of pixels, adding some (black) background/canvas there. At the time, the rules did not allow any border or "padding" of the image area.

I was on deadline and about a 33% magnification -- I just never really noticed it. I thought it was a pretty darned stupid rule and ruling too, but I had to admit that they were enforcing the rules as written and equally to everyone.

Maybe if I hadn't oversharpened it so it made that halo under the dark edge it would have slipped by ...
