At the beginning of the challenges don't the rules say the photos have to be taken within the week of that challenge?
I'm curious due to the photos of insects, buildings, and seasonal natural phenomena (not pertaining to autumn). |

As we all discovered in the seasonal challenge not all parts of the world are in the same seasons at the same time.
If you think an entry was taken earlier you can request a DQ, but remember to give it a score as if it was legal.

And in some areas the climate and the season are not in accord.
The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco.

Could someone please explain the concept of seasons? I live in San Diego, CA, USA.
OK, it ain't that perfect, but close enough. If I wanted, I could pretty much take bug pictures year round. I've found some pretty big, nasty lookin' potato bugs in the garage, but all were dead when found. I once had a scorpion in my living room, but that was dead soon after discovery -- my wife insisted. Wouldn't even let me take one picture :(
Personally, I'm having a real hard time finding something "autumn looking" to shoot. I have new growth on some of my orange trees and the lemon tree is still heavy with fruit, while some of the other citrus trees have blooms.

I'm not looking to disqualify anyone, I was thinking of pictures I've taken that would make good contest entries, but were taken outside the time frame of the contest.
Yes I'm aware of the difference in seasons. I was under the impression that this one phenomenon only took place in winter. I've since found out it can happen almost any time of year.
