Well my entry has been DQd. Reason simply says ...all photos must be take by you. Rules say we can use other photos as a texture. I'm guessing that a photo I use from another member was not used as a texture.

If this is the case...be very careful interpeting....texture.

The water drop was applied as a texture. Any thoughts on how to avoid this in future expert challenges?

I keep warning folks about this. The SC's interpretation of "texture" is *very* narrow. It's hard to provide guidance on how to interpret the rule, the best advice would be if you are not using one of the built-in texture sources in Ps or similar program and applying it subtly, have your image reviewed by SC prior to submission.

I can't seem to find the DQ rules...the ones that say what happens next...if I DQ again in a certain time frame....can anyone point me to it?

Under Challenges>Challenge Rules, look at the bottom of any of the rule sets, under the "Penalties" heading.

ETA: Long story short, don't get another DQ within your next 25 submissions! Oh, and you're now out of luck for self-DQ for that period as well.
