 Couldn't decide at all this month. My two best shots are already in challenges, and my better Lensbaby shots are posted in that side challenge. Had lots of single tree shots - many I liked (I apparently like shooting single trees) and one I REALLY considered entering but figured people might be sick of trees by now, and there will probably be other "tree" outtakes in the FS.

So you get this one, which I did shoot to be a FS candidate. It's a three exposure HDR tonemapped kinda thing, and it did weird things to the moving people, which I like in an odd sort of way. I've shot from this position before but wanted to try it with more tonal range. So I took my thousand pound tripod and lugged it all over Frankfurt. For that reason alone I finally decided this one got to be the FS entry.

The other single tree outtakes and the rest of the Lensbaby considerations will be in my portfolio.

I think I much prefer this one over the colour one! I could be a B&W junkie though...

thousand pound tripod? No wonder you're in such stellar shape. :) Really great job on this, Deb! Brings back memories.

I definitely like the black and white version. It's almost like there's a 3-d effect going on here. So I think you did a GREAT job with the tone-mapping. My eye keeps going to the clock too. Not sure what it is that keeps pulling me there. Fascinating photo.

Deb, I was just looking at the distribution of scores here. Nothing less than a 4 - that's great. I thought it would score higher though. Well done!
