James, it's a shame the image was disqualified. It can feel personal, but don't believe it. It has happened "unfairly" to many others before you and will no doubt continue to happen. There are so many rules to pay attention to, one pretty much has to be around awhile to follow them.
There is btw an option to submit a request for validation along with your entry, or anyway sometime before the challenge ends. Unfortunately, again, you would have to be around awhile to realize that might be necessary!
Great photo, by the way. I've also enjoyed checking out your portfolio.
Cheers,
- Larry in NYC |

Yeah you're probably right but it still is a blast to the face either way. Might be kind of stupid but after moving to NY and then having to repack all your stuff 2 1/2 weeks later and moving again, watching your first ribbon develop actually helped some of the pain of what I was going through. There where only 2 days left of voting and I didn't feel that there was ever a chance of being asked for the original on such a simply straight forward picture. But all 5 of the top images are asked to validate- that should be better publicized then. And yes I am just a bit sulky about that. I don't cheat and this makes me feel like I was suspected of that. I could of easily pulled the original off the desktop and had it on my laptop ready to send off if I'd known that top 5 where asked to validate. |

All top 5 images in all challenges are always validated so it´s just automatic. Congrats on the ribbon! |
That's what I figured but wasn't too sure either- not a problem that they're asking to validate the original just that I moved to NY and then had to immediately repack all my stuff and move again. My desktop computer is still packed away and of course it's in the very front of the trailer-lol. Hopefully I'll be able to dig it out tonight- gonna break me if it gets DQ'd now. :( |

I just moved to NY and my entire life is packed in my enclosed trailer. Gonna have to pull out almost all of my stuff to get at the desktop computer which has the original- blahhhhh. Well thanks all for the great comments. I'm so so happy about it- and man did I need the pick me up. |

| Pretty good! I like it. If anything, maybe not quite so centred, a bit more space for the water to flow into (left and bottom), but maybe not. ~9 |

| Delusion and enlightenment. You control the shutter well, yet the water still flows at the same speed. Form is emptiness, emptiness is form. Great composition and colors. Should be in the top three I believe. |

(doesn't look like any soft focus applied PP) |
