There was a challenge a couple of years ago where you had to submit a 2 second shutter speed. One of the ribbon winners was clearly not within the guidelines and he copped about as much flack as you are right now. His image is still one of utter amazement but he will still be remembered for his cheating'. Sometimes we get remembered more for the negative things, but the fact remains, that you have a beautiful image and that is something to be proud of. You are not going to be able to change how people choose to see this image...so concentrate on the positive. At least you admitted that this is not 47 steps from your house. How many others in this challenge are within the same boat but won't admit it without being confronted.

Take the fame of your image and do with it what you will....but don't let it get you down.
