Simple point and shoot camera..this is what you get when you wait for an hour and get the perfect shot out from a 9th storey..a little photoshop work to hide the distractions caused by the structures in the pic..so that they look like silhouettes..Just my second challenge..Hope everyone likes it..;)

Alright..didn't have an internet connection so couldnt reply to all those posts down there..
first of all...the picture is taken from a dsc-t50 i agree..but dunno y it's not there in the dpchallenge camera list..dsc-t10 is similar with a similar resolution (7.2 MP)..hence i thought i'd go with it..
secondly...this one's for pix-al..the picture is 100% authentic..i've not violated the editing rules.. even the dp guys didnt have a problem with the editing..it's a simple brightness contrast and cuves adjustment..it's just that the picture was taken earlier than the challenge and being my second challenge i must've overlooked that detail..
will take care of it in the future..and i seriously feel it was carelesness on my part and not cheating...
Picture was only "OK" in my opinion. Very surprised to see it grace the front page.
Shame you had to cheat to get it there.
I wonder if the editing steps for this one year old shot were actually legal anyway?
Something about the bottom being so dark and the top being so bright that doesn't look right to me...
Ohhhhhh Romil!!! My heart hurts for you! Darn! A ribbon with such a beautiful, award-worthy photo -- on your 2nd challenge and to have it taken away. Sniffle sniffle. I had a ribbon photo dq'd once too, only mine was for editing (hangs head in shame). . .so I know how bad it makes you feel!
But you keep entering shots like this -- and you will have many ribbons in your future. You are amazingly talented for 19!
EDIT: Oooops. . .I just read Brad's comment where he busted you for entering a photo that you intentionally knew was taken a year ago. Hmmmmm. I think maybe my heart still hurts. But in disappointment now :(
Aaargh...my camera dates were faulty!!!
god this hurts!
Except for one minor detail:
This image was uploaded to Flickr also:
* Taken with a Sony DSC-T50.
* Taken on March 24, 2007
* Uploaded on October 2, 2007
Even the EXIF data on your challenge image matches Flickr's data:
# Original Date/Time = 2007:03:24 17:13:20
# Digitization Date/Time = 2007:03:24 17:13:20
It's still a stunning photograph though. Shame you couldn't be honest about it after the fact.
So sorry about the disqualification. That really hurts. Don't be too upset. You still have a gorgeous photo, and many more ribbons will follow, if you keep at it.
The picture is very nicely captured. The colors around the sun are very rich, and the rays coming away from the sun and beautiful. The clouds help to make the shot interesting.
Some fantastic light there - I think I would have tried to find a different vantage point and remove some of the structures. Love the warm to cool color change as well.
this is an awsome photo. the way the sunlight pierces through the clouds and at the same time makes an orange glow throughout the lower portion really makes this picture pop. I give it a 10!
