I had a postcard which was similar to this once. Made me laugh to no end! Crop from the neck down off and also so that the bottom right corner is very close to the neck. Then flip 90 degrees CW. ;)

The first one I actually see an April Fool's joke in. :D At least, I think I do... Easter time, but you've depicted a take on the Christmas story?

lol. Ok - this is going to get hammered, sorry. It is a nice photo, but so DNMC. Are you trying for the best-looking brown of all time? ;)

First, that doesn't sound good about how the matter was handled - sorry to hear about it.

I'm not sure the coin blurring would result in a DQ, but to be honest, such an obvious blur won't do well anyway. This would have looked great had you not blurred the coins. And I guess the time issue is the point - make do with the time allotted or make time to get the materials you want.

Hard luck with the DQ (I reckon the cloned BG might have DQ'd you anyway), but I hope you carry on submitting to the challenges here.
