 This was haphazardly taken under a fluorescent light on my kitchen counter.

I never expected it to score this high but I am thrilled!! I am relatively new to this site and this is really exciting :)

Thanks everyone for the nice comments!

What a costly lesson to learn!! When I took pictures for this challenge, I was taking horizontal and vertical shots. Then when i was viewing this in Windows Photo Gallery, I rotated the image to view it, but when I closed Photo Gallery, it auto-saved, and 'marked' my image file on my memory card. Unfortunately, I had not yet saved the file on my computer. So, even though I DID NOT edit the image in Photo Gallery (and for crying out loud why would I????), I had to be DQ'd.

Way to break a girl's heart!!!!!

I faved this shot, so sorry for te DQ. I normally copy from the memcard and paste to a folder and not even look at it. Then copy that folder and paste to another folder and edit from that folder. I want it to be said that i did'nt even breathe on the original LOL.
Don't worry, there'll be more ;)

Very nice. I would however get rid of the top quarter so all that shows is what is ion focus.
