Nice, all can types qualify according to rules, but, 3 photos and a video, not 5 photos, no one else has over limit, I'd edit if you can so you don't get disqualified. If they're that picky.
I'm sure they will edit it for you, we're not supposed to comment on entries either, but we can't help ourselves lol, but they clean it up at contest end.
