 I'm hoping for a 6+ (or 7+ haha) but I guess that will all depend on the other images in this challenge (and how creative they are). No matter how it scores tho, I really do like what I was able to create here. So it won't bother me to have this be a permanent part of my portfolio.

For the record, this looks way better as a negative image than in the original form.

Convert from RAW
Invert
Played a lot with levels, HSL, Color Balance, Brightness/Contrast
Noiseware
Resize
Sharpen
Border

Enjoy!

fire indeed!

Great capture. Havent seen a windmill like this in a long time.

Great pic for a negative, like Melethia said, the positive might not be as interesting. So, good eye for recognizing its negative potential

Well... I'm giggling because I absolutely love this as it just brings me closer to my lovely Kansas and the whole history of it all. This evokes ideas (for me) of what it might look like during a tornado or even during the times of the dust bowl. Quite ominious and foreboding. Defiant, even.

Classic composition that works very well in negative - better, I suspect, than the positive version.
