Hera,
I can see great things comming from you. This DQ should only be viewed as a minor setback.
I would think the next time you leave behind any submissions in the future, that you have a plan to qualify future requests from SC.
Good luck in the future. |

That sucks, the same thing happened to me. AND I SENT MY RAW IMAGE before I left for my vacation. No one got back to me before I left.
BTW I gave your image a 10. |

Dear Ursula & Shannon,
Thanks for your help on technical issues.
As the consul requested the RAW file has been sent to the consul at this moment. I simply want to clarify all the commotion. Did this happen before? Did a ribbon got DQ'ed?
I hope that this will clear the matters for once and stop several asumptions and discussions at the forum about my shot, who I might be, and how much I had acess to the internet during my New York trip.
I had not much internet access thoughout the trip. Only on few occasions for a short period of time.
Regards,
Hera

The reason we need an original is to verify that the image was made during the times allowed. It's that simple. |

Wow! How heartbreaking that this got dq'd!! I am so sorry! This is one of the most beautiful maternity photos I've ever seen!
But I hope you will not be too angry with site council either. There are so, so many members, and there has to be some hard and fast rules. I had one dq'd too while I was on vacation and couldn't get to my computer. It just wasn't as heartbreaking as this because it wouldn't have won a ribbon!
Congratulations anyway on a spectacular photo.

| Sorry you got DQ'd. I still have this as a favorite, so I can look at anytime. When I first saw this, i thought that it was the best way to photograph a pregnant woman. Just a wonderful shot. |

In all repect, I'm very very surprised and sad about this DQ.... to me it was and still is the winning picture...
I think that the juges should ask for any info regarding any pictures before being put up on the final score... |

Hi
I am Kari from the critique club.
First Impression
I think that this is a lovely and delicate shot, which really does enhance the persons stage of life and pregnancy.
Subject
This meets the challenge and does so well, you can see how the single light source just plays along the shape of this lady.
Composition
This is fantastic .. I don't know how to improve. You have a picture that not only works the thirds lines o nthe vertical where the lady is sitting, but creates a line through behind the model and maintains the interest through the continuation of the netting.
Technicals
My only issue is one that has been bought up in your comments, and that is the area in the left hand courner from the light you used. This may have been caused through having the light source too close to the background ... so just having a slight space there may have helped. I had something similar on one of my shots and playing with the curves and contrast helped this, but I am not sure it would benefit the whole picture.
improving the score
There really wasn't a lot in the scoring but I think you may have scored higher without that area on the left which several people have found distracting. I am not sure what else I can offer.
Final words
I think that this is a fantastic shot .. and shows that you have a superb eye. I am sure there are many fantastic shots to come. Well done.
If you have any comments on the critque feel free to PM me.
Regards
Kari
