Just removed the Copyright symbol using DXO Optics Pro, the EXIF data was corrected. Although I don't know what lens you'd used in this instance.

That confirms my suspicions, I'll look at seeing if I can prevent it happening in the future next week, but at least for now we know the probable culprit.

Well I've found it using FxIf ! It's a Tamron AF 17-50mm F2.8 XR Di-II LD
So the detail is there but isn't getting picked up by the site.

Probably the © character. Given its a copyright sign in a copyright field does it really need to be there? If it is for your other uses, suggest keep the field alphanumeric by using (c). Sometimes control characters can do odd things in databases and in html code as they can have alternate meanings to the software.

What does a shutter speed of 0/1 mean? Exif shows the photo in question had a 3 second exposure.

Thanks for getting it rationalised. Most of my photos too have the lens info in the exif present and where need be I usually copy it across from the maker notes using exiftool. However, the lens is showing as N/A.
As an example, this is an image from my gallery which includes the lens model in the exif, as shown by the Fxif Firefox plugin data, yet PU shows it as N/A.

Pentax seem to handle the lens model differently to other manufacturers by not including it in the exif by default and rely on applications copying it from the maker notes. However not all applications do this so it is a detail that can often missing.

If the background is going to be against a wall, you could put up a curtain rail containing several colours of curtain and just pull across the colour you want. Might be simpler than a backdrop.

This was my entry which wasn't (entered.)
Not ginger beer bottles but hot water bottles.

I'm not into wines and beers and not going to purchase said items just to enter, so the tight rules prevented me entering. My only alcoholic consumption tends to be half a glass of lager and lime on my birthday and a glass of sherry at Christmas!
Had it been a monthly competition then there would have been more time to sort out suitable subject matter. I have been under the impression that the weekly comps should have a more general theme to allow individual interpretations.

PU competitions with tight rules are normally the preserve of the monthlies to allow time to source suitable subject matter. And yes, it would be helpful to know the expectations in advance!
