If you have a potentially winning shot you should be worried. But you should always check your date in exif regardless.

It was a great shot. Now I wanna know how it was done. Can you fill us in on the details Jon? edit (I'm guessing long exposure, "painted" with different colours of light).

FWIW, I wouldn't want to be the one who put it forth for a DQ, only to find it wasn't the editing but a time stamp problem. A little embarassing to say the least. Funny how this rarely happens to shots that have little potential.

great photo - too bad about the DQ
you shouldn't have waited until the last submission day, and all would be good.

I'd like to object, respectfully but strenuously, to this part of orussell's post. The image is very well done but it certainly can raise suspicions as to the legality of the methods used, especially among the less experienced photographers on the site. No one should be made to feel "embarassed to say the least" because they don't understand how a shot was done from viewing it. It is never wrong to request a dq (or validation) if an entry raises a question in your mind concerning it's compliance with the rules.

Voters requesting dqs is a very important element in the enforcement process. A forum post that disparages it is counterproductive to the policing efforts of the admins/SC.

The fact that it was scoring high is irrelevant to it's legality. We really have no way of knowing how many low scoring images are dq'ed.

I agree with coolhar.

And, as Imagineer point out in his photo notes: "No malice at all to the requester - I would have needed to submit proof in the end anyway."

My apologies, really, to whomever I may have offended. I was a little quick to judge - I admit it.

Lucas - hide your head in shame! As a punishment you should parade in front of Buckingham Palace in your Y fronts with pencil's protruding from your nostril's!!

:-P

P.S. the shot of you 'jumping' off the roof does not meet the challenge! Its poorly focused and overexposed!
