What may have happened to the “Two Ladies” image by De Sousa. The picture is gone from challenge results, the photographer’s page, from favorites and from comments page???

The challenge summary says there was one DQ - but it doesn't show it at the back of the challenge - it dissapeared early this morning about 2 hours after roll-over.

Presumably a Self-DQ - but it would seem a bit odd post challenge ?

Front page – 5th place.

If it was a "self-DQ" -- not a rules violation but removed at the photographer's request -- then it is not displayed at the end of the challenge results. I don't know about this particular case, but that's the most likely explanation.

Pity – it was a great imageâ€Â¦ now nowhere to be found on DPCâ€Â¦

Maybe he was mad because I commented that the lady was more prominent than the horse.

At least I didn't wonder which one *was* the horse!

(tongue in cheek. I honestly don't think anyone would self-DQ because of anything I had to say)

so they self dq-ed a fifth place shot? that seems kinda strange. id be parading a 5th place all over the place

Maybe he simply realised his original wasn't original any longer and knew he wouldn't pass submission.

i believe there may have been model release issues

I don't think so. Why would he get to hide it, unlike anyone else who gets DQ'd for that reason?

How is it that two SC members have chimed in, yet neither knows the answer for sure?

There's an internet conspiracy at work here, everyone. Be afraid, be very afraid.

Because I can't remember every particular situation or photo? Because part of the reason for a self-DQ is that the photographer does not want the photo viewed and discussed here,and I choose to not share further details with those who don't need to know them?

If there is a photo which does not appear in the challenge results, it was removed at the photographer's request, under self-DQ guidelines included within the challenge rules. Those rules do not require any justification or explanation to the membership of the reason(s) for the removal, other than the assurance that it was not for an editing rules violation.

I suggest you all let the photo R.I.P., as the photographer has requested ...

Is there really any need for this type of response to what is obviously a joke?
 09/01/2008 01:42:38 PM · #15
Although I'm 99% sure that Mr. Pants was joking around, he might have been serious.

But still. Someone need their coffee this morning? *hands GeneralE a steaming mug of Hazelnut Creme Mocha*

I thought that that would have been obvious to everyone.

lets think on the bright side. this photo is gone, and i have my first little star on my page:D yay for everyone!
 09/01/2008 01:46:14 PM · #18
I'm on my second cup of coffee (also a song by Gordon Lightfoot), but thanks.

I was not offended by or responding to the joke part -- I was just trying to answer the legitmate questions of the first part, in more detail than the first time, since my initial explanation was obviously not satisfactory.

That De Sousa fella can take a good photo.

I believe anyone can request a self-DQ if they realise they've screwed up.
Say I managed to crash and lose my originals shortly before rollover. I request a DQ but it isn't processed until after, when my shot sits in 5th (like THAT would ever happen... the 5th place, I mean).

Not sayin' this is what probably happened, but it's one scenario, and not at all ominous or reeking of conspiracy :)

I'm blind, I'm not seeing a star anywhere.

Oh heck, nevermind.

is there the possibility to have shots removed at your own request?

09/01/2008 01:55:59 PM · #24
my last months free study was dq'd or self dq'd, and it is completly gone. I actually don't know who dq'd it, I asked for a self, and I also violated rules, naughty me!

From the rules:

You may request removal of your own entry during the voting period IF none of your last 25 entries were disqualified or removed, and NO rules were violated.
