The former Yellow Ribbon image in the “Wheels” challenge has been disqualified for violating the artwork rule. While past iterations of the artwork rule only required something to be real in the scene, the current version prohibits using photorealistic artwork as the primary impact of an entry.
In this case, a photo taken from another website serves as the main subject (the wheels in a wheels challenge), and voters are therefore largely judging a photo of a photo taken by someone else outside the challenge dates.
Congratulations to our new Yellow Ribbon winner and HM. |

Well, while I don't agree that voters were judging a photo of a photo, I knew I was pushing the envelope, but had several precedents that I thought covered me. Oh well, live & learn. :)
eta: Congrats to  MNet on the yellow. Apologies for "stealing" your limelight. ;-)

| Rules aside, I thought your entry was fantastic. Your gracious response to a DQ even more so. Kudos to you for both. |

| Ditto what Shannon said. SC has spent hours discussing this one, and we really appreciate your phlegmatic acceptance :-) It's a great image, Ken. |

That sucks, Ken.
I know it was hard for SC. I'd not want to be in their shoes on this one.

| Ken, that sucks. But on a brighter note, only 10 more DQs to a blue ribbon for me ;) |

All the more reason to fear Ken in the "Drinking" challenge.
He's good and he'll pick through every rule book rule before sending in his next entry.
Beware!

I should've gone with the original image I shot for the challenge. Things could've been different...
(apologies to  ecmguy) :P
Thanks for all the comments on the image and the support. And thanks to the SC for doing what you do. I'll get over it. It's just one more reason TO drink. :) |

Can SC please clarify... had the "Artwork" image been taken during the challenge period by the participant would the image then be considered legal or would it still be a DQ based solely on the amount of "artwork" used. |

The author doesn't matter. Even in Expert, the rules state that artwork "must not be so prominent that voters are basically judging a photo of a photo." Entering a picture of a picture kind of defeats the purpose of a photography contest.

Silence is golden. I should follow that rule more often myself. |

| I am curious. If Art had gone to a tattoo parlour and had those wheels tattooed on his head would that be legal? |
