What a pity, Sam. Don't be disheartened. Just about everyone around here has been DQ'd at some point. One of the hardest things to learn on DPC is the editing rules, and how far you can push the envelop on each before it's no longer "legal". Just remember that a DQ has nothing to do with the quality of the image, which in this case is splendid.

I'm so happy this one. It radiates such energy and joy, and it's urban surroundings prove that happiness is any/everywhere. Congrats!

The slight haggardness of the woman juxtaposed with the pawprint shirt is outstanding. The sense of movement, her position in the frame as she is exiting - a moment we have almost missed.

Together, hand in hand.

Brilliant. Talk about epic framing, judicious use of vignetting, delightfully narrow color range. This will be on MY podium.
