 Oooooh, I just know I'm going to get killed on this one. Every time before I enter something a little bit different I know it's going to tank, but I still enter it. Not really very deep purple this, but freaking basic editing doesn't allow spot editing, so if I darken the purple, I lose too much detail on the rock.

But whatever, hopefully some of the viewers would find my way of depicting the classic "rock" (pun intended) band not too bad.

My guess: 5.*

Processing:
- Crop
- Noise reduction
- Exposure down
- Recovery
- Contrast up
- Brightness down
- Resize
- Sharpen
- Save for web

---------------------------------------
Just in case anybody was wondering this isn't an aerial shot. This is a rock in the sand. The longish exposure gave me the streaks. I am probably about a meter or 2 away from the rock.

An Ariel view makes for a nice change of pace. I'll expect to see this one near the top.

Is that Smoke on the Water? Looks pretty cool - almost like a high aerial shot or even a satellite photo.
