Thank you Sherlock Holmes (bjoern)... read two posts below yours and that was origin of the copy and paste you peformed.

Once again... my mistake on not fully reading the rules for MY FIRST SUBMISSION. So chill out, no further investigating needed, spend your time perhaps taking pictures, being constructive, etc..

Well - the exif information in the picture says:
# Original Datum/Zeit = 2009:06:01 06:04:52
# Digitalisierung Datum/Zeit = 2009:06:01 06:04:52

In any event a beautiful shot.

This is a fantastic image. Too bad about the date.
I just wonder why you entered the date the pic was taken as "Dec 4, 2009" at the time of submission on Dec 7,2009?.

Don't put too much stock in the stray low scores. When my brother was showing my mom one of his entries which was still in voting stage (not on this challenge), I noticed she kept hitting "1"... she thought she was clicking on the right link to get back to the "first page".

The colors are a bit too saturated for my tastes, but that seems to be the norm for a lot of the winning/high rated images here. A perfect crop on this one for me would have been just above the horizon. Just my opinion. Congrats on achieving the winning vote, even if it was short lived. :)

Glad you're going to eat the DQ with good grace. Come back and share some more nice images like this and they're sure to be appreciated.

it still remains a very very good photograph, the ribbon is subjected to DPC rules, but this not meant that the photograph is not good.... many many compliments.
