 Probably not the most original title but it was stuck in my head since I heard of the challenge. I meant to record the stops along my 47 steps but I forgot. Oh well...

10 steps took me to the fence in the back yard. I marked the spot on the fence and went around the fence to the other side and continued counting. 25 steps more just got me across the road. The other 12 steps I used to get positioned more or less where I wanted to be.

Editing:
In LR 2
Changed the camera profile to Landscape Beta
Changed the curve to linear
Landscape Sharpen preset
General - Punch preset (adjusts clarity and vibrance)
Export to TIFF

In PSP XI:
Cropped
Resized
Sharpened
Added borders

Post challenge
I just realized that I got a 6+ for this image. Its been hanging around 5.90 or so for the whole duration of voting. cool!

Incidentally this is technically inside the city limits of Calgary. Then again it might not depending on who you speak to. The field is University of Calgary research land for their Vet Medicine program
