Ohhhhhh Romil!!! My heart hurts for you! Darn! A ribbon with such a beautiful, award-worthy photo -- on your 2nd challenge and to have it taken away. Sniffle sniffle. I had a ribbon photo dq'd once too, only mine was for editing (hangs head in shame). . .so I know how bad it makes you feel!

But you keep entering shots like this -- and you will have many ribbons in your future. You are amazingly talented for 19!

EDIT: Oooops. . .I just read Brad's comment where he busted you for entering a photo that you intentionally knew was taken a year ago. Hmmmmm. I think maybe my heart still hurts. But in disappointment now :(

Awww. . you added the bars? What a fantastic job you did! You'd never know they weren't actually there. In fact, when I saw this, I thought that I would feel sad for them except for the fact that they are smiling and look so content and happy to be with each other. They are amazing animals, and I love how you have presented them here. I'm glad they aren't behind bars tho :)

Well, it may have been done before -- but you pulled it off so expertly, it didn't look at all like it was just a picture -- and it was brilliant to rotate it the way you did. This is great :) Congratulations on your first ribbon. . .keep that up and it will most certainly be the first of many :)

What a great moment you captured. I love the roll-the-head-back for a good belly laugh.

Yes. . .it is a VERY tough crowd! Much tougher than this photo deserved!
