did i do something wrong by adding a watermark to my photo? i just thought i was protecting my image from being stolen.... i've had so many views on my profile since this ribbon, i thought i needed to protect myself (and my pics). if i used this incorrectly or in bad taste, that was not my intention at all..... my only intent was protect my photos

I like the layout of this photo, but the edges lack clarity.

I saw that trademark as well and wondered why it was disqualified. Was it added after the fact by DPC and if so, why not on all of the entries?

A really great piece of work - especially the set up and execution of the Tabasco bottle with peppers - brilliant idea and brilliantly delivered.

I am really sorry to hear about the issues with the image deletion. Just remember, that you have this great image no matter what befalls the fate of the image in the challenge.

Congrats on your ribbon.

Wonderful placement of subjects within the frame! The flower in the foreground *INSTANTLY* captures my attention and like a Greeter announces and invites me to come on into the meadow. My vision then travels beyond to the backdrop where I see a field of flowers. The bright and bold yellow-orange hues are perfectly captured. This invokes the feel of a bright, breezy and carefree spring day. Hope to see this in the top 5 - 10.
