Your submission must be taken after the challenge is announced and before the deadline, based on the Current Server Time (US Eastern Standard Time) displayed at the bottom of every page on this site. You must ensure that your camera date and time are correctly set to your local time zone before shooting your entry. If the date recorded in your original image file is not within the specified challenge dates, your entry will be disqualified -- NO exceptions! Also, Extra Rules require ice.

UGH that is just wrong. I don't think they should have DQ'd you for the date reason. Like you said it's not everyday that people take pictures with specific items like this in it. Even though your date was wrong they knew it was taken after the challenge had started.
It's the stupid date....BUT YES, THERE IS ICE. As soon as they asked for original, I went back to check the date, and it was wrong, I knew it was coming...:( But it was taken april 1st, why would I happen to have a pic of these specific items.....from now on, I WILL SET DATE EACH TIME.....
THANKS TO ALL WHO LEFT WONDERFUL COMMENTS, I know where my picture stands, date or no date. DQ OR NO DQ....
I guess you got a lower place maybe because it doesn't look as much like a wine glass. But I really loved this because it didn't seem as if the elements were thrown together "just because" - it really seemed to work as a cohesive whole.
10 from me....lucky you to get your photo in in time, I had mine taken and ready to submit when they pulled it.
Well, it has just been suggested by SC that if I give all photos a score of 10 (which I have done), then the scores will not count. So rather than risk that, I will have to adjust my score on this photo, sorry, you can blame SC if you like.
