Nice silhouette

Some people are not able to vote or comment until the weekends. If a red flag is VALID, it should not be the commenter's problem that the Moderators did not spot the problem previously. I thought the red flags were to assist the moderators, not do their job for them. To use this as an excuse to allow "bad" entries to remain in the competition is not fair to those who DO follow contest guidelines. An incorrect entry should NOT be "given a pass" and allowed to remain simply because the author can no longer replace the entry. If an entry is not valid for a contest, it SHOULD be removed, REGARDLESS WHEN the determination is made. That is what a Moderator's job entails.

As a mod, I appreciate red flags as they help us. If a member enter a last minute shot, hoping they can pull a fast one, fair enough, but if an entry has been up for several days, I find it most unfair to red flag it within 24 hours of the upload deadline. With the time differences, that makes it unlikely that the author can replace the entry, if it gets pulled.

I queried the author and here is his reply, which I accept;
"the photo in question as it was taken
some time ago. I pulled it off my blog for the contest. But I assure you that the
picture was indeed the color that you see. It was a very gloomy day in Canada and
the timing was just right I guess."
It is not black and white, which you can see for yourself if you copy it and put it into photoshop.

Beautiful shot, but B&W aren't on theme for this

wonderful

Wow, need to be seen in hi-res before to vote, it's not easy to get, but it's cool! Good luck author, well done.

I agree with eco - nice one

wonderful!!

I didn´t get it at first glance, but after I saw the hi res really enjoyed it.

Beautiful, but you need to watch the dust on your sensor.

Beautiful landscape
good luck author

very nice the idea and its execution, bravo

Great one, I find really original for a candle to be wet and burning at the same time, good luck author!

fantastic

very fine droplets and the light, bravo

I like this photo, Good Luck to you

Nice focus, great lighting.

very pretty! Love the tones

Very nice!..

You don't have to put a red flag, just go to "My stuff" -> "My contest entries". There you can edit your entries and upload a hi res version !

Super Mario ftw nice idea!

Ah ok ! Thks. Without High res, it's hard to see it.

Great catch. I can see the triangles and the squares, but where is the circle ?

Nice style!

gud thought
nice job

I think overall image is kinda blurry. And i would suggest adding a shadow to the creature and also add a sbs. GL

LMAO, ... mmyy MoMMa said .. this is a nnice chop !! welldone

High res would be nice

Dude..you lost Sally? did she drown !!! lol

ummm where is sally and her seashells? there are no customer to buy them either so how do we know she is selling any lol...not a very good interpretation of the twister

I think you should chop a Sally.

Is that why you re-wrote the tounge twister "Sally sells" to "Sally sold" Past test so you wouldn't have to chop a sally?
