I think all of you had/have not read the post on Shot Integrity ,in DPR'S Open Talk forum where from you will perhaps consider how much the viewer & voters were wrong while deciding the rankings of each of the Challenge programme.The basic foundation of Photography is integrity of a shot & its quality should be judged by that quality only not by P/P manipulations,The voters & viewers of DPR Challenge are sufficiently mature to comprehend that.

The Host is calling all the shots by explanation. But he never mentioned the integrity factor in each shot -how much the photographers' deviation from the original through P/P

I apologize to all those I had to disqualify because I did not include in the capture date rule that the shot had to be taken in 2015.

In the title of this challenge, it states "best shots from this year" and in the description below it also states " for shots taken in 2015"

I missed putting this in the rules, but need to stick to the title and description. I also did get a couple complaints stating shots were not taken in 2015 even before I had the chance to review them. This confirms to me that at least the theme was understood even though I missed an important piece.

One of my shots got disqualified because you said it was not taken in 2015.
However, in your rules under "Capture Date Rules - No restrictions". So, what's your problem? Can't read and understand your own rules???

ackebous, you as the host should ensure the theme and rules are NOT confusing and ambigious.

How is the following which is in the description not clear? "This is a wide open challenge for shots taken in 2015 which finished in the top 3 of any previous challenge" And why withdraw the other 2 excellent entries that did meet the criteria

What's wrong with following to your rules on "capture date rules - No restrictions "? Didn't you setup the challenge?

I wonder who's previous top entry is going to wind up last (gasp!)?
