I hope I understood Jim Miotke's new challenge in his e-mail from yesterday. Starting yesterday/June 1st, through August 31st, we are to UPLOAD only new photos or DDR work. I haven't uploaded this photo before, and it was taken last month. Anyone understand the e-mail differently?

Thanks for commenting, Gord, Tammy, and Jo Ann.Nadia Paul June 02, 2016
Absolutely gorgeous macro of this orchid Mary! I understand Jim's email to mean only images created during the current month i.e. newly taken. The exception is DDR when older images get a brand new look. #11481671Reynaldo D. Reyes June 03, 2016
Beautiful vibrant floral Mary! Great capture as always. The way I understood Jim's email (based on the P.S. part) is that pictures submitted for the next three months should be taken and uploaded during the current month. Thus for the month of June only pictures taken and uploaded during the month of June will be considered for eligibility for the contest (presumably). Thus since all my photos were taken the previous months, I've got nothing to post so far. Of course I can post but it wont be considered for the contest. My two cents. #11481707Mary K.

Nadia and Rey, thanks for your comments and for the input re: the Summer Challenge. I'm going to try to create a new discussion thread for Jim's instructions. Between the three of us, there are three interpretations....Rey, I took the photo above last month. I uploaded it last night (June 2). It was accepted for the contest. So, I think any photos you've taken in the last month are safe to enter. Otherwise, the first day of July and August would be awfully short on photos created and uploaded...Avril Young June 03, 2016

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
