It's not a matter of whether we believe you or not; this is just an ironclad rule that's been in place as long as this challenge site has been in existence; without a valid original with full EXIF data we cannot validate a winner. Without this rule we'd have people going into their archives for images that suit every challenge, and the whole point of DPC is to shoot FOR a challenge.

How nice to be your "neighbor", Marcel. Personally, I was amazed at how much emotion this little outlet is emitting. Well done, sir!

Congrats on the HM, Tibby! I'm in the "this is too crunchy" camp, FWIW. It's not too sharp in the original (are they ever?), so it's happening in post.
