Author, Hi welcome to the site if you are new here you should take a few minutes to read the rules. Your image is a good one but there are some technical issues with your source link.

I have read the rules, and I'm very sorry that there is an issue! What can I do to resolve it?

author go up to the top of page and find "MY STUFF" menu drop it down too find "MY CONTEST" there you will have the option to edit your image. Put the link for any sources there you will see the places. Good luck.

i have found the original image on flikr, but i saw it through images. thank you for helping me fix my mistake. I will be sure never to do it again!

Nice image, author, but it's copyrighted. We can't use those on this site. At flickr, go to the bottom of the page, click on Creative Commons, then at the top, click on See More across from Attribution. If it says 'some rights reserved' (down the page to the right), click on those words and if it says you can 'remix' then you are able to use that image here. Good luck and welcome to the site!

im sorry. im very new to here and to everyone who's been helping me with the copyright rules, thank you. im now very aware of the rules & guidelines and now i know to search within photos that are not copyrighted. Thank you for all the help! i hope i dont get disqualified for this contest =[

I like the colors...
But you have to change the copyrighted image you used, by not running the risk of being disqualified or having the entry removed.

the picture is not copyrighted

yes, it is. on the authors comments, where she lists her name, there is a copyright sign right next to her name. its not even available for download.

i changed the background image to one that is not copyrighted.

Looks cool to me! Your source is fine. GL!
