Lens: Tamron SP AF 28-75mm f/2.8 XR Di for Canon
Location: home studio
Date: Apr 25, 2006
Aperture: 5
ISO: 100

Date Uploaded: Apr 25, 2006

 I really wanted to go shoot the Capitol Building or the white house. After the challenge I'll post an image I already have, if no one submitted one for the challenge. I don't expect this to do well, but just in case I make it through the next round of the MS challenge, I gotta submit something.

If you pull this into photoshop, you'll see the inversion. Pretty basic - curves, sat, resize, save for web... Tried it with a white background. I suck at white backgrounds. We'll leave it at that. :)

__________________________________________

This image is now on its way to the DQ pile. My first!! When I was taking this picture in my home studio, I shot a couple, stuck the card in my computer, tweaked, ran back to the camera, etc. When I got to one I liked, I stopped, edited and posted. I never downloaded the image to my hard drive. I had a busy week photographically so wrote over the image at least a time or two - I have shot more than 500 pics since then. :)

You live and you learn. I will NEVER make this mistake again. I hope. My sincere apologies for any problem my mistake has caused.
Disqualification Details
You must provide your original photograph when requested, along with the editing steps used to create your submission. Please remember to always work on a copy of your original file.

One of the rare ones where I actually prefer the positive. Colors are indeed intersting in reverse, though!

Nicely done. I think simplicity and strong graphical emphasis, like this, works best in this negative format.

Beautiful photo. I did some of these myself. If I had know that they could come out this good I would have submitted them. Yours are much better than mine. The composition is great as well. Very fluid, Very simple, Very orderly, very delicate............
