My first ribbon WOW
I feel so fortunate to ribbon, I thought I had a nice image and was watching the scoring every day. Surprise I placed first, I really had no idea how it would go.
Thank you for the votes, comments, and faves!
Lesson learned, was modified without me knowing it
If you shoot in JPEG:
JPEG images which have been modified in any way by transfer software are NOT considered valid originals. "Transfer Software" includes, but is not limited to, applications such as iPhoto, ACDSee, Nikon Transfer, and Windows Vista Import. This doesn't mean you can't use such applications, but it is your responsibility to make sure the files remain exactly as they were recorded by your camera. Generally speaking, if you hit "save" at any point you are altering the file, but these applications and others can sometimes modify your files on import. Once a file has been changed, there is no way to determine whether the "original" has been illegally edited, so this policy is critical to ensure the integrity of the challenge results.
Disqualification Details
You must retain your original, unedited file (exactly as recorded by your camera), and provide it to the Site Council along with a list of your editing steps within 48 hours of any validation request. Files that have been saved or altered with any editing or transfer software are NOT originals.
