I'm sorry about your DQ. This is such a beautiful image...... I'm looking forward to seeing more of your work, and sure we'll soon see you on the front page of the forum again.
In another hand, the challenge was:
Submission Dates:
May 9 2007 - May 15 2007
And she clearly indicates that she took the picture the day before the challenge is announced, so... And on her personal site:

the picture date is 2 days before the beginning of the challenge.
Sorry, I hadnt read your comments. The smallness of the droplet will give such a round ball. I didn't appreciate how small it was.Just goes to show I should be more adventurous with my camera.I have a syringe - you have given me a shot in the arm to move on with my photography!
this is too bad, an exceptional image and your first challenge. Hang in there, watch your dates :0) and keep submitting, all of us want to see more of your photography
I wonder if the drop is real - surely it can't be so perfect unless it is a glass ball, but even if it is, the idea is very nice - even the view through it is splendid.
I look forward to many more successes, and the time is right for you to have them - I have the same camera, but not such a knack for a brilliant image
DARN!!! Your first challenge winning a blue ribbon and then having it taken away! I'm so sorry! But I agree with Juli. You will undoubtedly have many more ribbons in your collection. So sorry about this one. I had a ribbon photo dq's once too, so I know of the disappointment you are feeling :(
Oops. I have a date-based DQ myself because the camera's date was wrong. So I happily checked the box on the entry page knowing I took it during the correct dates.
It's a great shot, so enjoy the compliments, learn from the DQ, and keep entering! :)
Oh no! What a heartbreak, to have a blue ribbon taken away for a date violation. On the bright side -- if you can take beautiful photos like this, there will be many more ribbons on your profile page before long.

Maybe an issue with understanding the language, sorry about the DQ, as a master of DQ I can only encourage you to carry on entering challenges and keep your chin up.
This is terrible! I'm totally shocked about the DQ, especially because it's such a great image and because it was your first challenge. Did you forget to check the date on your camera?
Very beautiful colors and tones to this gem...congratulations on winning the blue ribbon!Sorry about the DQ, still a striking photograph and one of which to be proud!
Thank you so much!!!I really don't thought that I can win!!! Yay!
Now, for everywhone, who think that it's marble, too round to be droplets, too edited or sth I announce that I'm takeing droplets phtos for one year and I know how to get round droplet, we need 2 things : flower with silky-smooth petal, and syringe with needle. The droplet must be very very small to be so round. I've send my proof - oryginal photo, hope you belive me :)
Thanks a lot for nice comments and so many votes !!!
Absolutely stunning! 10 from me. I need to try one of these at some point, they are so cool!!! You've captured the sphere perfectly. Tack sharp. The background blur and colors are outstanding. Wow! Did I mention I like this yet? :D I look forward to seeing this on the front page tomorrow morning.
BTW - If you're wondering why your score didn't move after this...I voted several days ago.
Perfect. I would have been tempted to frame or crop differently. But this certainly does work well just the way it is. Probably better than offsetting that drop more.
oh my GOSH the drop is a perfect circle! amazing! beautiful reflection, I would have liked to have seen it cropped a little more on the right so that the droplet isn't right in the center
Very very nice picture and original composition, made with great care and precision, lighting and colours are perfectly balanced and managed, sharpness is present just there where it is needed... A great picture, congratulations !!
In my T2.
That water droplet is so perfect I'm inclined to say it's fake. If it's fake then the photo isn't all that great, because it's the water drop that's making the photo. If it's real there's a wow factor. I'm torn. I know I should assume it's real and vote accordingly. Hmmmmmmmmm...
This picture is absolutely awesome!! At first I thought that was a marble.. then i realized it was a droplet. Stunning!!! The color inside the droplet is AMAZING!! GREAT JOB!!!
What a great shot. Beautiful composition, colors, and dof. It all works so nicely together. My only adjust ment would to move the droplet down about a cenimeter. Picky, I know.
