Congratulations rinac. Sorry you didn't get front page earlier.
About the DQ.
I mistakenly removed what I believed at the time to be sensor dust. I had asked SC to validate very early in voting and DQ it if it did violate the editing rules. I should have left the imperfection as was, but 10 mins before deadline, I made a poor judgment call. I broke the rules and got a DQ. Yes I'm bummed, but the rules are there for a reason and I fully support he SC's decision. I will keep trying to hit the front page again..... You ain't seen the last of me ;-)

Sorry about the DQ.
Btw,  Limbo, I appreciate your gracious response (so much more palatable than "I quit"). ;-)

Limbo, sorry to repeat what has been said but what a breath of fresh air to find someone take what must be an obvious disappointment with such grace.
Regardless of the fact that you got DQ's take heart in the fact that this was an amazing image

I third that Bravo! I'm sure we'll see you back on the front page before too long (and it's still a fantastic image). |

After so many recent rants, some of them resulting in people quitting due to a DQ, it is heartening to see your response and support of SC judgement.
Now, what the heck was that white spot if it wasn't sensor dust? Maybe it belonged in the paranormal challenge because I can't figure out what it is. I probably would have cloned it out too and I wouldn't want to violate any rules in doing so. |

My understanding of sensor dust is that dust on the sensor causes dark blobs. The dust, if you think about it, blocks light from the sensor. If it is a highlight, it is not sensor dust.
I think in this case it was some small speck of crap on the plexiglass surface, but I never found it. Maybe it was paranormal, warped in from another dimension to screw with me ;-)
I would like to see an addition to the website showing examples of sensor dust, hot pixels etc and maybe linking from the rules to help others. This isn't the same as the judgment calls on substantial cloning etc and should be easy to show what is, and is not legal under basic.

Sorry about the DQ, those suck, but you gained loads of respect by your response to it, I appreciate that a lot, especially with all the crap complaining that goes, on, best of luck in the future,
