There is no good reason to be mean in commenting and voting. If you see an entry that was obviously put into the wrong challenge, deduct 2 points for that, but please judge the image on its own merits! Just MHO.
Sorry Sherpet for your disappointment. Looking forward to see the photo though :)

This is somewhat peripheral, but here's how I make sure that does not happen to me:

Say we have two open challenges that complement each other, like we do this time. I enter challenge "A" on, say, Thursday, and after studying my entry for a while, on Friday I decide it can be improved. So I go back to Photoshop and make my changes (or even work on a completely different entry), and store the new version in my challenge folder on my HD.

Now I go to DPC home page and click on the challenge; if I have clicked on the right one, it pops up with my earlier entry displaying. I browse for and enter in the appropriate field the filename of my new, improved entry, and then click on resubmit: the first entry is replaced by the second entry.

With this system it's impossible to enter the wrong challenge by accident (assuming I was in the right challenge to begin with) because if I click the wrong one it tells me I cannot enter both! The key is never to "unsubmit" an entry in a challenge you wish to stay in, but just overwrite the first entry with the second one.

I'm sorry this happened to you, Shez. I liked the image very much.

Please don't feel a sense of loss. It will always be in your portfolio, and it will get plenty of views and more comments.

And besides, no score would have been high enough anyway! :)

For a highly personal photo, I'm sure that this could be true. I'm miffed with my scores at the minute and the photos have no real emotional link. I'm not sure I could or would enter a really personal shot.

Shez,
I have not been through the challenges in question yet so I did not get to see your photo but I am very much looking forward to seeing it when the challenge is over and you post it for everyone to view. You have a way of expressing your world and your feelings through photos that is very touching and I am sure this photo will be no exception. I am really sorry to hear that you received negative comments over something as trivial as accidentally submitting it to the wrong challenge. I hope all the positive comments received so far and the ones I am sure you will receive after posting it later on will make up for that for you.

Well you all asked for it, so now you can see a revised edition of my image in my portfolio. I have checked with Site council and it is ok for me to have my image in my porfolio. The origional one is actually frozen in time, until after the challenge, so no comments on this one in my portfolio as yet. Thanks so much for all the comments

You can also read the background on this one, re this personal image of my son Blake and his Father, my husband Peter.....
Enjoy, maybe something good can come from, something I rather forget.
