Oh, no! I was just taking another look at this photo and didn't realize it had been DQ'd. I've read the forum thread since. Tough luck and chin up! You've still got a great photo for your portfolio / Christmas card.

Having received my own dq recently, it's deflating and somewhat demotivating...but hang in there Sharon. This image is a beauty. Great choice of lens and angle and a well deserved high rating. Sorry about the DQ

DOnt stop entering , this is a truely emotive image and perfect for the current time of year - looks like a still from a movie - one of those sickly sweet movies, the kind that are best at Christmas. Perfect.

Just so y'all know, I have the original RAW file, but when I sent it to them for validation, I sent the converted unedited JPG and not the RAW file. I never check the email that I signed up to DPC with, so when they informed me that I needed to submit the out of the camera CR2 file, I never saw the email and as a result didn't rectify the situation. Very sad about this. It's been about a year since I had entered anything, so it never occurred to me that submitting the jpg was wrong.

Thank you all for all the lovely comments. I truly appreciate it.

What, you didn't save the original for this fine photo? It's a crying shame. I thought this photo deserved the blue ribbon. My condolences on your DQ.
