Uh..  I see a little problem....I'm sure it was an oversight but you are missing a name from the list.

Well.... see.... the thing is.......

I did a little bit of digging on your questionably too-PERFECT of image and I discovered that you are in violation of rule number 5 which states : "Who Can Enter - Any member may enter 1 photo that they have taken or if they are shown in the photo".

Now, how could I possibly know you didn't take this picture? Well, good question. Maybe you DID, but if THAT's the case, then the timestamp tells me you are in violation of rule number 4 which states : "Current Photos Only - Photo must have been taken within the last calendar year." (If you would please take a look at example number 1 uploaded at the end of this response.)

So unfortunately due to breaking the rules of the contest, your image had to be disqualified good sir.

I see what you have done. Thrown out facts and rules about this and that. Fine. I officially withdraw my amazing, candid, and adorable baby pic from the competition.
