Wow. i'm totally embarrassed! I did not know there was a difference in the images between RAW files and JPG right from the card. I frankly never use RAW files from my 5D mark IV but used my 6D to take this shot which is set for RAW. When I downloaded the image from the camera I must have downloaded the RAW image instead of the JPG image not realizing they were different visually. In fact, I did not see the difference until I saw the DQ and pulled them up on my computer. Here they are:

RAW Image:
JPG Image:

Now I see the difference:(
I had sent the JPG image for verification prior to the end of the challenge for verification because I went away. Again, I did not know there was a difference between the JPEG and RAW images straight from the card. Then I got a 2nd request for verification after the challenge was over. I thought there had been a problem with the first time I did it so this time I sent the RAW image from the card.

Sorry for my stupidity. I never would have known this if it wasn't a minimal editing challenge. Learned something new!

I love the idea of this. It leaves one open to so many thoughts of what is going on. I can look at this over and over again and make up a new story. One of my favorites. Top 3.
