 Hi team. As some of you know, I had an entry in the 'Purple' challenge. I was asked for a validation and at that point noticed that I had blown it. I contacted site council, explained the error with the understanding that my image would be disqualified. After a brief waiting period, I've been informed that the entry has in fact been disqualified and rightly so, I might add.
The image entered was the final edited version I decided upon after a number of attempts at different styles etc. Unfortunately, the image I worked on for my entry was done on a file previously edited for other purposes. Both the original and the edited versions were side by side in my folder and when opening the file, I opened the wrong one and never realized I was working on an edited version. It was a careless and unintentional mistake and one I am willing to atone for.
Unfortunately this error will have a very serious impact on the team's standing this week particularilly since at the time of disqualification I was sitting at a score of roughly 7.4. After all the excitement and good will shown between all team members, I feel very saddened by the effect this will have.
Please accept my apologies. It was a very simple and honest mistake but that dosn't make me feel any better as mistakes like this, due to carelessness aren't the best ones to make. I already realize that you will all be very receptive to my apology... that's the type of good hearted people you are, and for that I am gratefull in advance. Wish there was a way I could make it up to you all.
Thanks guys and girls,
Rudy

The best way you could atone is by acknowledging the many people who give comments to your photos. But, hey, that would be asking too much from you wouldn't it.

Aw Qart, a great shot. So sorry to see the DQ. Would have been great competition and I would have been happy (well, ok, not happy) to lose to it.

Interesting, but it feels more like you just added color than actually taking an image of something purple.

Great Concept, but the model's face a bit soft.9

You may have entered the "purple" challenge but I'm sure you'll be receiving the blue. Beautiful lighting, creativity, and tones. 10

Love the concept. I wish her face were more natural looking, not so "neat imaged" and maybe a little less purple.
