 Thanks so much for voting this picture the Blue Ribbon. It was a beautiful field of wildflowers I passed up a quiet country road. I was able to talk to the owner who told me it was intentionally planted but the field had taken on a life of its own. Nature is a wonderful thing!
Disqualification Details
This was a minimal editing challenge. The Submitted entry did not match the JPG original given to us: there were slight bur noticeable luminance variations. The second original proffered was a RAW file, which is not useful for minimal editing.

Wow. i'm totally embarrassed! I did not know there was a difference in the images between RAW files and JPG right from the card. I frankly never use RAW files from my 5D mark IV but used my 6D to take this shot which is set for RAW. When I downloaded the image from the camera I must have downloaded the RAW image instead of the JPG image not realizing they were different visually. In fact, I did not see the difference until I saw the DQ and pulled them up on my computer. Here they are:

RAW Image:
JPG Image:

Now I see the difference:(
I had sent the JPG image for verification prior to the end of the challenge for verification because I went away. Again, I did not know there was a difference between the JPEG and RAW images straight from the card. Then I got a 2nd request for verification after the challenge was over. I thought there had been a problem with the first time I did it so this time I sent the RAW image from the card.

Sorry for my stupidity. I never would have known this if it wasn't a minimal editing challenge. Learned something new!
