You should be starting to think about what the next challenge will be because there is no other entry that comes even close. I for one will be looking forward to seeing some of your other works in the future. Paul

I agree with shu. If you just happen to take amazing photos within a challenge time frame and topic, enter them in Eligible. This will certainly get my vote.

Your off base and over thinking it Ken. Any image shot with any camera within the time frame that fits the general challenge requirements is eligible to enter in Eligible or Exhibition. It's a shame not to move this stunning, excellent entry to Eligible. Paul

Frankly I don't think it matters. A good yellow image shot during the challenge time frame is good 'nuff IMO! LOL shu

Thanks, Traveler, for your kind comments. The little yellow spot under the frog's eye is actually pollen from the flower. You can also see it under his mouth and on his back and legs. As for entering it in the "Eligible" category: Even though it was taken within the proper time frame and technically follows the rules, I didn't go out and take the photo specifically for the challenge. In fact, I had already taken the photo when I noticed the challenge on the DPReview forum. Although the rules don't necessarily say so, I've always thought that "Eligible" photos should be taken not only in the proper time frame, but also with the challenge theme in mind at the time of exposure; i.e., it's something you shot specifically for the challenge. Thanks, again. -- Ken

The child image is nice, professional, but this is....something else! You could also place this in Eligible, but maybe you won't, because this surely will win. Just...Perfect in all regards. Best Wishes, Traveller

Edit: I might clone out the little yellow spot under the eye of the frog...great equipment with a great photographer...can't be beat!
