The results of the 'Even II' challenge have been recalculated, as the 5th place entry has been disqualified for illegally distorting the image. Congrats to our new 5th & 10th placers!

Not a particularly pleasant way to get an HM; but the first time I've troubled the scorers for in eighty challenge entries.

Used the lens correction tool....! Actually hadn't intended this photo for the challenge and had already editted it when it hit me that is was good for even, so...... re-sized and entered, not expecting it to do well to be honest and forgetting that I'd "corrected" it....!

Oh well, live and learn..... Also suspended for a week as 2nd DQ in 25, damn, I love shooting at the sun!

Yuck. I'm sorry. That could happen to anyone. *sigh*

I'm bummed now, though. I was 12th. Now, I'm 11th. One image away from a cute little star.
*sigh*

12th was much better.

*grin*

That's my quote of the year, post. God I love this place!

Well, the DQ is unarguable I suppose: although the rationale behind it is eminently debateable. The suspension is overly draconian I think - most especially given the huge and amorphous variety of rule-sets these days. But then, that's the style of the place these days. I hope someone might see sense and at least overturn the suspension.

I agree with e301 -- trying to figure out the things that are allowed vs. those that aren't can make your head spin.
