Welll I'm not holding up to all you big guns!! Didn't expect to, mine has a story with it to make it more understandable. I needed more than one frame to make mine work .. and perhaps a better photographer behind the view finder LOL!!

Excellent shots in this challenge -- I'm hoping I can sneak into top 10 -- but I'm definitely not certain.

If you are not certain mine will be on the third page! (6.58)

Voters finishing off the week on a sour note. Good luck to all in the challenge. Looking forward to seeing where some of my favorites land, and who the photographers are that took them.

I expect there are a bunch of them, actually; there are some outstanding, in-your-face action shots in this challenge. I think I'll be lucky to make top-5 with this:

Rules are rules.

Would have like for voting to end before they DQ'd me, then I could at least take a screenshot to preserve my few moments at the top end of a challenge.


Sorry I didn't finish my thought.

They "shouldn't" if they follow the rule, however in the past they have in some cases done that. Whether it's right or wrong to do so I guess is up to them.

What a way to come back to Dpchallenge after about 2 years.


Did you contact the SC? Usually if you're out of town they can give you an extension...


Actually you shouldn't be able to according to the rules. I believe it even tells you that if you will be out of town or possibly unavailable you should submit your original ahead of time.

Edit to find the rule

I submit that my entry was based on photograph(s) taken with a digital camera on or between Feb. xx 2012 and Feb. xx 2012. If requested, I will provide the unedited, original file from my digital camera within 48 hours. I have followed the Advanced Editing rule set, taking into account any extra rules listed above.*

I think on the next screen after entering the photo it tells you to submit ahead of time if you won't be available.

That sucks. I went on vacation a couple of years back and it didn't occur to me that my entry could ribbon, so I didn't have the original with me or submitted in advance. Fortunately, I was able to walk a friend through finding my RAW file on the hard drive and submitting it.

Nice score for flaws, though! :)


I admit I am slightly surprised but then I'm more focused on the technical errors. People looking with fresh eyes have a different perspective.

Wow... beating Matt in sports? That's unusual enough that I'd better post so that my score can drop and the universe be returned to normal. :D

Not that unusual, I've only ever ribboned in one challenge, albeit a sports challenge. I've entered 3 sports challenges I think. And according to my voting I'm not even in the top 10.
