This image meets the challenge but other than that lacks of everything: focus, impact, correct exposure and white balance, visual appeal. A brown ribbon is still a ribbon, though. This shot absolutely deserves it.

I expected this was yours, but if I post a guess in my comment, then I am wrong!

Comment by Yo_Spiff:
I love the sarcasm here, but I am not sure if I need to give you a good vote for the humor, or a 1 to help with the brownie you may be trying for. Problem I have found it that if you really want the brown, you have to avoid making a statement that people will appreciate. They will give you good votes for that.

Wouldn't it be funny if a dozen people clicked the "rules violation" button on this one for preexisting artwork? No, I didn't think it would be.

Added:
Why am a certain this is from a someone recently DQ'd under the existing artwork rule?

Giving this a late bump up, because I really like the humor in it, as well as one of my arguably coveted shoehorn awards for the humor.
