I am also really disappointed that this got dq'd! As I stated during the challenge, this was my strong pick for blue. And I didn't think anything you did in RAW before you even opened the picture counted against the basic editing rules. Eeeeeeee. . ..now I know. Sorry you had to be the sacrificial lamb that taught us all that rule.

But everyone's right. It doesn't take away from how awesome the photo is. . .only that there's a pink highlight marking it instead of a yellow ribon :(

Good head on capture. These guys are normally pretty shy and anti-people social. They don't normally like to be photographed.

She is in fact beautiful, and you have captured her beautifully, but my guess is you are feeling the wrath of the "does not meet the challenge" brigade, eh?
