Challenge: Rusted (Basic Editing I)
Collection: Architecture
Camera: Sony DSC-F707
Location: River Heights, Utah USA
Date: May 4, 2004
Aperture: f 8.0
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/30
Galleries: Abstract, Architecture
Date Uploaded: May 3, 2004

 Corrogated siding on a shed. It was kinda rusty.

PP: cropped, levels, boosted saturation by 10%, skew to fix warpage caused by wide angle lens, sharpened (Lab color: lightness channel).

I really have no idea how this will do. I sure like it though, and selected it from dozens of photos. It look a long time, too, especially the sharpening. I finally had to sharpen at a large pixel radius and a low percentage or it kept adding annoying noise. I hope at least someone enjoys this as much as I do.

Would have worked well as an Abstract, too. 7 (not crazy about that border, though, but that doesn't alter my vote)

You made an awesome picture of a simple subject- pattern. GJ!

Very graphic, nice color (possibly a tad oversaturated, but it works) and technically well exectued. The black border even works, which I'm usually against. Nice entry -- it should do well.

I love this picture and find that it really stands out from the others. It reminds me of desert sand dunes.

next time make the border smaller (or don't use one at all) - it really ruined your photograph.

Beautiful colours, and excellent composition!

Great title. The picture is interesting but needs a focal point to really hammer home the impact of that great color.

Very nice! The best I have seen so far (13% done). You managed to capture the precise perspective that made this a potentially winning shot. Well done.

Very nice colour. Think the boundary did the picture good. Breaks the monotony.
