It's not a matter of whether we believe you or not; this is just an ironclad rule that's been in place as long as this challenge site has been in existence; without a valid original with full EXIF data we cannot validate a winner. Without this rule we'd have people going into their archives for images that suit every challenge, and the whole point of DPC is to shoot FOR a challenge.

The picture was original, shot from my Nikon during the dates u mentioned and i uploaded from my cell as the northern pak has no wifi so i couldnt upload from my laptop.. i uploaded all my north pak pics on fb and then used my cell and data package to upload onto ur site.. there is no other way for me to make u believe.. disqualify as u may but i believe its just discrimination. Im a semi professional photographer here in pak and use my skills to promote pakistan and its natural beauty.

Thx to everyone for liking this. This is a mountain feature i found while on my travel to Northern Pakistan.

Hm, upon viewing this on my larger monitor today, it does look oversharpened or something. Something went a little wrong with the editing, but otherwise a very cool capture. On my small cell phone screen it looked great. I still like the flow of the image overall.

Great find and my top choice - 9. Wishing there was a bit more room on the left, but I know it is hard to do in portrait orientation.
