| Because of pica, I will consider any submission that has dirt (one of the more common pica abnormalities) in it to be a DQ. |

Starch and ice are two other common ones.
Ice pica (the craving to eat ice -- or sometimes cold drinks to excess) can be an indication of iron-deficiency anemia. |

Been there! Chewed ice for years and was anemic for years, to the point that I couldn't give blood. Put on a few pounds and everything leveled out. :)

Ok just for clarification should you not vote down a photo because you think it's DNMC? I'm referencing this part of the voting rules:
"You may not:
give an entry a lower score because you believe it violates the Challenge Rules."
Not meeting the challenge in this case is against the rules so do I have it right?

I thnk that's a moot question because in this case if it DNMC it will be DQ'ed.

| What Karen said. If there was food in the shot, you wouldn't be voted down, but you'd be DQ'd. |

Or the ultimate vote down :-)

I'm not sure you or Scalvert is getting what I'm saying. You are referring to clear cut DNMCs (ex: a photo of an apple and only an apple.)
I'm referring to that gray area that so many people like to use as a basis for DNMC for example, a shot that includes a sidewalk with lots of gum drops on it or a photo with a small billboard sign in the background that has food in it. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if people found those images DNMC even if the food shown isn't the subject and is of little value to the photo as a whole.

No gray area there. IMO both would be DQ'd for showing something normally considered edible by humans. |

That's a bit... ridiculous. So if someone were to take a photo of someone in public, and there just happened to be a bum eating a hamburger in the background, that's a DQ?
Having food not be the *subject* is one thing - a DQ simply because the frame may contain something edible that isn't the subject is harsh. |

Well you proved my point. I didn't see both as clear cut DNMC. Who on this planet eats those black gum drops on the sidewalks? To me that's the same as the squirrel example in that it's not presented in a manner in which it would be consumed.

I agree! in a large scale backround, you can't always change what is there. if you are taking a picture of a sunset, you can't add or remove clouds. if you are taking a picture of a hermit crab and it just happens to be next to a sea anenome, then what do you do? pull the sea anenome off of it's rock? would you shoot a bird out of a tree just because it's messing up your "perfect" angle?

Well then, you'd better be careful! ;-)

They're still edible, no? This is just my personal opinion, but I'm betting the DQ vote would go something like this:
"Hey, aren't those gumdrops?"
"They sure look like gumdrops to me, and gumdrops are certainly edible."
"DQ." |

Well, getting DQ'd because a bum was eating a hamburger in the background would definitely teach you a lesson about being more careful about composition.

Which is a great skill, but it's not always a luxury that's available if you're shooting candids, etc. |
