This shot didn't make the front page, it was on A4 the day after. Might have been - after being cropped, curves-ed, sharpened properly, and color balanced a little, mind you, but there was a story about a lesbian chick and her christian parents that took up half the paper, including A1.
This was DQ'ed because the paper's 1D, which I shot it with, had an incorrect date set. Since the administration doesn't accept any means whatsoever of proving that the date/time rule was not in fact broken, a rule-abiding shot is gone and I'm no longer interesting in playing the challenge game.

Great image, so clear. It's a real pity you didn't have a reflector it would have made this perfect. As it stands the shadows over the face, particularly the ideas is less than ideal.
This is really great. The bubbles add so much sparkle...and I love her red fingernails peeking into the frame. I do wish her eyes weren't in shadow, though.
