Did this one get a DQ?
I realize that I probably understand the letter of the rules, but I am totally mistaken about the reasons behind them.
This a creative use of existing imagery and it tries in no way to fool the viewer into anything.
What about photographing passers-by in front of street art, street advertising and so on? Why should this image seen differently rules-wise?
A clever, well developed concept.

| I guess I'm a lot smarter than the SC and I was not fooled into thinking you went to the top of a sky scraper to set up Legos. Not a big fan of the artwork rule and how it gets applied some times and this is one of those times. Still this a very well done image and the voters got it right! |

Wonderful picture, well deserved blue ribbon.
I definitely disagree with SC criteria on this one. |

This sucks. I didn't judge the photo solely on the picture in the photo.
SC you screwed this one up. We voted on the concept and idea, NOT the damn background. |

I have two DQs in 76 entries in over 6 years. Both DQs contained a picture in a picture !

| It's not my place to question the site council's decision. It does however leave me with much more questions and I can honestly say that I did not wish for this to happen. I only became aware of the big debate about this issue late in the discussion and upon reading it feared for the worst. Please don't be disheartened by this. Nobody wants to win or loose a Ribbon in this manner. |

I'm just confused by the term "all photos must have been taken by you"
I have a feeling your ribbon will stand. Good luck though!

Nice photo. I read your comments about the photo background. I figured it was a photo back there but couldn't be sure....so I voted as if you really went up to a high-rise and set something up by a window.
I recently got a DQ for this image.
This was an EXPERT editing challenge. I was DQ'd because I used a photo that I did not produce myself - on the face of my model. I got permission from the photographer first.
The DQ reason simply states: All photos used must have been taken by you. If this DQ reason was spread around fairly, then the Pea Pods may be #1.
Oh well, I've been in forum disputes before and all it does is get people ranting and raving ! I'll take my medicine and take the DQ and dream over your ribbon !!
I just wish there was a way to be fair to all.

The challenge notes clearly said "colorful little" blocks. Not only is that not a little block, it's NOT IN COLOR! DNMC!!!
Ha! Amazingly clever and such a creative spin on the challenge. Truly stands out among the pack. It's in my top two, and would be an absolute favorite if I were certain that background were real. Though I'll give you a 10 as though it is.
One complaint... Needs more booze. |
