 I did a lot of adjusting to this one...lots of contrast, curves, hue and saturation, levels, and sharpening. I wish it was advanced so I could dodge and burn and clone out some of the leaves in the background (curse basic editing rules!). I expect it to be about a 5.32.

This was taken in my backyard using a lawn sign from my front yard and a rope that I bought at a garage sale YEARS ago that was one that the person had used in team roping events. It's usually hanging on my bedroom wall but I had to get it down for the challenge.

I have several other outtakes of this and an indoor studio setup I tried. I know I probably didn't choose wisely but I really like the mood of this one.

This was one of my top picks. I'm glad to see it did well for you - well deserved finish (well ok, top 10 would have been a little sweeter!).

Smile and keep having fun. ;^)
