Wow. This is really beautiful..

I especially like the way it curls around at your neck.

Great balance in the shadows on your backdrop as well as in the material...

Good stuff!

Your shot is fantastic and it would be a real shame if you would leave this community so soon after you have joined.
It is not a flawless community, but the people that "run" it do show a will to make things work better.
I do appreciate you frustration but as in so many other walks of life, rules are often made up because of those that try to get away with cheating and they very often ruin things for the rest of us.
I am a little surprised that SC could not wait for you to come back, you had stated that you would be away. You could then have sent your file in when you came back and all would have been ok.
Please reconsider, sleep on it, whatever it takes, but do give it another try.

Has green in it, but orange seems to ben the main color. Why three explanation points? Lovely composition though. The trio of orange, green and blue is cool.

Wow! How heartbreaking that this got dq'd!! I am so sorry! This is one of the most beautiful maternity photos I've ever seen!

But I hope you will not be too angry with site council either. There are so, so many members, and there has to be some hard and fast rules. I had one dq'd too while I was on vacation and couldn't get to my computer. It just wasn't as heartbreaking as this because it wouldn't have won a ribbon!

Congratulations anyway on a spectacular photo.

Still one of the best shots ! Please don't be upset with a DQ. My first entry was a DQ! I learned from it.

Sorry you got DQ'd. I still have this as a favorite, so I can look at anytime. When I first saw this, i thought that it was the best way to photograph a pregnant woman. Just a wonderful shot.

In all repect, I'm very very surprised and sad about this DQ.... to me it was and still is the winning picture...

I think that the juges should ask for any info regarding any pictures before being put up on the final score...
