Why my entry (1st/Winner) has been disqualified?, if the host need the original photo with full exif, I could send it, thank you

Maybe you should become a host so you can decide whats a good photo & whats not, but obviously dont allow any Flowers, Boats, Dogs, Cats, Birds or bugs or any photos taken with the new Canon 10000D (sounds good how much is it?)

Time to either get a new job or find a better photo blog. These contests with pix of flowers and boats are kinda lame. Doesn't anybody have imagination? Shoot something different once in awhile! How many dog and cat pix do we really need to see with your new Canon 10000D or whatever. Flowers, birds, bugs? Really? Enough already, shoot a real person doing something interesting.

Everyone has subjects that they like to shoot. Mine happens to be nature, insects, birds, animals, flowers and the occasional landscape. I don't want to spend time Photographing a real person even when they are doing something interesting. I like being in nature and I think the wildlife I photograph are interesting.

Why don't you take some creative people shots and enter them. Someone scored very high with shot of an interesting looking person recently, maybe you could also?
