I love your image and am sorry for the dq. Sensor dust *IS* a big problem on digital SLRs. I recently bought a macro lens which made the dust on my CCD even more apparent when used at high f/ ratios. I followed Canon's recommendations to clean the sensor, it is a very stressful process - I was shaking and holding my breath. The before and after pictures I took showed some improvement but I still have some stuborn spots. Some websites recommend special solvents and swabs but be honest, my 20D is still very new to either send it back for cleaning or to diy a scrabbing myself.
I'd vote for a change in the rules to allow spot editing with a Healing brush to fix Sensor dust problems on digital SLRs. I understand that this will be difficult to judge, but I definitely agree that we should have a discussion on the matter. |

| you know what? I don't care about the disqualification - you still took a top 3 photo IMHO. Put it in your collection and sell a few, that should make up for being dq'ed. If you continue to get spots on your lens then maybe consider a new lens or opting only for advanced challenges. Thanks for sharing a beautiful shot. |

The reason why my photo âCold mountainâ was disqualified is that I removed two small spots (I am told because of dust on the sensor) from the image. These spots have been a problem on my photos lately, but removing them does not change the photos a bit, so I thought I was not doing anything wrong by doing so in this case. It was not my intention to cheat or do something that is not permitted.
It is of course necessary to have rules in competitions like here on DPC, but it is my opinion that rules that disqualify photos on these grounds are not about good photography, but rather a stupid reason to get rid of good photos.
In all my challenges I have tried to do my best to follow the rules and also in this challenge, so I am not reconciled to this conclusion. In fact it did not cross my mind that I was doing something wrong by taking out these two little spots and was very surprised when the photo was disqualified.
Because of this experience I have had and probably many others I would suggest that these rules were changed. It would be nice to have some discussions about this matter.

| Admitted, it's a beautiful picture but after 21 entries, one would expect you'd know the rules. |
