If you have already uploaded your picture as an entry here in this thread you can look at the Google spreadsheet linked in the very first post to see if your picture qualifies or has been disqualified.
The link in the very first post to the Google sheet is there so you can check for yourself...
There are close to 400 entries so far that are disqualified for not following the rules.
All can be seen in column C of the Google sheet linked in the very first post of this thread with the rules.
6. We want to see the world through your eyes, not through the excessive use of editing tools. However, basic cropping and poop removal is allowed.
7. Images that have been resized might be disqualified if they are too small to judge.
8. No people in the picture (no faces, fingers, hands, arms...
The first one you entered isn't very clear so it may not qualify based on rule number 1.
Do you have a clearer photo you would like to use to replace it with?
