Tips & Rules:

• Be sure to make your entry as large as possible within the forum's restriction.

• Each member may submit only one entry for this competition but you may change your entry up until the deadline.

• The usual "copyright" requirements apply. You must have shot the picture or have the rights to it. Honour system applies.

• Since this is a learning forum, we'd love to have the technical details: shutter speed, ISO, f-stop etc.

• This is NOT the forum for photo art filters or art programs and this is NOT the place to showcase your abilities with layers, masks, collages or overlays of multiple images.

• Entries may be deleted if they do not meet criteria.

• The winner gets to choose the next assignment PLUS all the accolades that come from being chosen "Winner".

• Please post your photo submissions without commentary and instead use the Discussion thread for comments on your photo or other photographer's photos.

• All RetouchPro members may take part in the competition and all members may vote, whether they have submitted an entry or not.

To get under 100k saved it at 20, so it's a bit crunchy. 18mm/ISO 200/f 6.3 Nikon D80. Bit of curves and hue/sat in PS, that's it.

Nikon D40
I did adjust the colors in photoshop.

I took the opportunity to shoot this on the first day of real sunshine we have had in a long time. Hurrah! It happened before the contest deadline.
