I've done my shot for the challenge, just realised I've deleted the original! (Don't ask...)

I have recovered it from the card using PhotoRescue, the EXIF data is still there. Date Created, Date Time, Date Time Original, Date Time Digitized all say the correct time and date it was taken. The only thing to have changed is the Date Modified to show when I recovered it from the card.

Will this be acceptable? Or shouldI retake it?

The date modified is simply the last time the file itself has been moved, that is just a Windows/MaOSX/Whatever filesystem identifier. It isn't EXIF data. From what you have posted it seems all good to me.

Thanks, have it ready to take again just in case... Wonder if I'll make it better this time :-)

Lol, sure, why not go for it anyway and see if one you like better comes out? It couldn't hurt. :)

If you see room for improvement, and have the time, why not do the reshoot anyway?

I would recommend that you reshoot your entry (given that you have the time to), since we don't usually allow "originals" that have mismatching datestamps on them.

In the (old) UNIX Programmer's Manual they use

rm *.*

as an example of where you better "be sure that's what you want to do" (in the days before the "Undo" command) ...

Even better is rm -r * Preferably from root. I had a good experiance of this in the /dev directory. Any unix experts will know what sort of chaos this can cause.
