Originally posted by LydiaToo: I forgot to shoot for the speed challenge until the "Feast" was over and all of the guests were long gone... so I put a photo I HAD taken (earlier that day, during the challenge period) up on my monitor, set a glass of wine in front of it... and then drank the wine while I processed the new photo.

I don't understand the ruling on the DQ. You took the background photo during the time of the challenge, it's not someone elses work, you were present there when that photo was taken, so to me you were not trying to fool me.

Lydia - I am afraid you have fallen victim to the frog syndrome. Apparently they are now over done and will be voted on accordingly. Sorry - I wish I had voted in this challenge I would have voted you higher :-)

I still like it; that it's a picture of a pictuere doesn't bother me in the slightest.......it's still a delightful and warm composition.

Lydia, I totally see what you were trying to accomplish in this photo and am sorry it got dq'ed. To me the focus is the toast and you are just using the other picture as a sort of backdrop, but apparently others see it differently. Don't let it get you down!!!

Oh Lydia - I'm so sorry this happened. It is a shame that they chose your photo to use as an example of the kind of ruling they want to enforce this time :(

YOU'VE BEEN HOSED...either SC is going to allow these types of "existing" photos or NOT allow them. There have benn COUNTLESS other entries of this sort...a monitor with another "live" object in front.

The site either needs to allow this OR NOT ALLOW this type of picture.

This pic should be reinstated and the rules changed.
