Additional rules:

Pictures must contain full EXIF data to verify the correct date of capture. Be aware that some software will strip EXIF data during the export stage, so check the relevant settings in your processing software.
Photos entered in last week's challenge cannot be entered again this week. Go out and shoot another masterpiece.
Entrants who cheat on the capture date will not be welcome in future 'Photo of the Week' challenges.
Entrants who cheat by sandbagging, vote manipulation, or with multiple DPR accounts will be DQ'd from my challenges.
