Lovely capture of receding hills and ridges. The top half meets the challenge topic and a panoramic view of just that would be gorgeous IMO, but I find the lower half too busy and my eye keeps getting drawn there instead.

It is beautiful but not very minimal

I wish some people would take their box of trouble elsewhere. It's the worst part of DPChallenge for me.

LOL...so what? One layer....the point is that this is NOT an expert edited photo and it won the blue. It goes against everything you posted on your photo thread here and in the forums.

As far as my DQ image. I took a chance and got permission from Irene and used her water drop as a texture. It was deemed not a texture by SC and got a DQ. I took it like a man and used it to learn. I accept the DQ and it is there for others to learn from.

Oh...by the way, at the time of the DQ it had a score of 5.24+ ...light years in the DPC scale above your fawn...which I gave a 7 !

The blue ribbon winner is excellent. The author of that image did use one layer, although he might have scored as well using Basic Ruleset. Read his image comments. Unrelated to the winning images, the DQ'd image in the challenge speaks for itself.

BTW...I gave your photo a 7 and the Blue Ribbon an 8. So you see, some of my highest scores when to photos in basic editing.

Ok, ok... possibly substituting a godzilla head wouldn't hurt either ;-) No, I'm not silly. As you indicate in your comments, no one has seen a newborn elk run. Twice as big as a deer fawn, btw. Hey, it's okay. I just entered this challenge to prove that people are voting on the processing, not on an image which meets the challenge.
