Actually, what the rules say is "Pictures of animal models or any other animals being exploited for profit may not be entered." Since the zoo in/near Madrid markets itself as a site for photographers to get shots of these animals, this is the rule under which the photo appears to have been disqualified, so even declaring it wouldn't have helped. -- Mark Roberts Photography & Multimedia www.robertstech.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
