The results of the 'Life IV' challenge have been recalculated, due to the disqualification of the former 3rd place image for being unable to provide a valid original. Congrats to our new yellow ribbon winner!

I submitted my original image the day the results were posted!!!!! I could see the original image that I had uploaded in the far left column... What the hell?!

Open up a ticket immediately and explain to the best of your ability the steps you used to submit your original. If you had submitted a JPG image, and used a program of some kind to move your images from your camera to your computer, you may have inadvertently invalidated your original.

In fact, when I follow the link for the proof request, the original image still shows up in the left hand column

How do I open up a ticket?

Edit to add...

Never mind, I figured out how.

Go to "Help" up in the right hand corner, click "Contact Us", and then select "General Inquiry" and use the text box to explain your issue.

ETA: heheh. Ok.

I hope you sent a raw file as the original that way you are covered i learnt my lesson !

I just wanted to add that you should also check your email or message box to see if you missed an inquiry as to your original submission. It is my understanding that if the original you provided isn't valid, council will inform you and give you a chance to find a true valid original. If that didn't happen, then I'd take steps to find out why :D

I guess that was the problem. I didn't send the RAW file. I sent the converted jpg. Ah well. This sucks.

I never check the email that I signed up to DPC with anymore. I found an email saying they needed the raw file.

Live and learn I guess.

Yah. Things like this happen. Chin up, and try again! :D

I'm guessing this has something to do with the PM/Email messaging problems others have been having. Hope it's resolved soon, I was shocked to see Santa missing from the front page. :(

Makes me sad since it was only my second ribbon since 2006! I've been too busy to really participate lately so it was really awesome to enter and win.

If the raw file was converted to jpeg you should still have the raw original somewhere?

I totally have the RAW file, but it's too late now, right?

I'd imagine so. They did send you an email to try and get it from you, but you just missed it. Not something they'll discuss in a forum though. You could still have an internal dialogue with them, however.

Ignorance of the DPC law is no excuse. :)

Maybe you should dye your hair?

I don't it's too late. You problably can still do it and hope they are cool about it.
Sorry for your DQ :(
12/18/2010 05:58:17 PM · #21
Nothing ventured... nothing gained.

Send it in...the worst they can say is NO...and you never know, they might just be in the Christmas spirit. :O)

Go for it Rompy - I`m sure Jaimevinas wouldn`t begrudge you taking whats rightfully yours.. C`mon SC, its christmas, lets budge the rules an ickle bit and check out Rompys .CR2 file.

However if its found she is cheating then she deserves everything that`s coming to her, the cheating old hagbag.

:) Merry xmas!
12/18/2010 06:12:26 PM · #23
Yeah, send it in.

How did you find out it was DQ'd though? Obviously you're keeping tabs on the DPC site. Did they not send you a PM through DPC asking for the RAW file? Only through your e-mail? That's a problem I can see clearly right there.

Please send it in and get this fixed.

I didn't get a PM at DPC. I have been popping in all week since I got my purty yellow ribbon. Had I received a PM here, I would've seen it which would have made me aware of the situation. Thanks for all the support guys. I appreciate it. :-)
