My first DQ is in the Ducky challenge.
This image has been disqualified for the following reason:

You must have exactly 5 green grapes in the photograph.

There were 5 grapes but something was wrong with them.
Not really concerned but still not very happy :(

Having that block of red text on the home page stands out like a sore thumb huh?

If you want, we put up our DQ'd Ducky shots for a chuckle in this thread:
DQed ducks
Let's see whatcha' did/didn't do.

Edit to add: I didn't read your post carefully enough, and just now saw "but still not very happy". Sorry about that.
:(

Sad to hear that. No one knows when anyone of us will be dq. I imagine the pain. But you know, I started shooting an entry for accidental and later realized that it was basic editing. Well, back to the set up.

Important thing is not to lose spirit.

I had to scrap 3 sessions of shots I did after I reviewed them and re-read the challenge rules before I start post-proc'ing any of them. I had to print out the challenge rules and make a checklist of each meticulous detail. I probably shot more pics for that challenge than any other.

That said, I am glad when the rules are enforced. I can't tell you how many times in various competitions (not DPC related) that the rules will be strictly enforced and so I spend twice as long preparing as anyone else only to have them "relax" the rules and I get beat by what should have been disqualified entries.

...so post the duck shot and get some opinions. heck, I might even have been the one to request the DQ. ;-)

Heck, it was probably me that requested the DQ LOL. I had/have no duck in the race (or in the hosue for that matter) so I went storming through the entries INUNDATING SC with DQ requests, as my part of the April foolery.

Robt.

(I also voted, of course. I LOVE the challenge.)

Damn, Bear! You wreaked havoc all around on April Fools day!
I submitted about 4 DQ requests.
