you score and placement are not too shabby Mark, you'll have to work for a mediocre score a bit harder :). I think the processing is a bit "over-topazed" here, I'd prefer it a little more subdued for the challenge.

great composition and colors... maybe too bright and cheerful for the Desolation challenge, LOL. The place reminds me our Salton sea. Well done on the HM, congrats!

interesting shot, love the framing of it!
(btw, title truncation happened to me as well, only in my case the systems truncated it all, LOL)

Originally posted by Bear_Music: Wonderful, Lev, congrats. Send a PM to SC and they will fix the title. For some reason, titles in quotes get lost if you amend the comments field prior to rollover. It happened to me a few weeks ago as well. But how the HELL could you be in Maine and not let us know you were about? Heck, I'd have driven up there just to see ya...

thanks Robert! That is exactly what happened, I added the link to Tennyson's poem right before the rollover. Very strange. I did send a PM to SC right away, I guess they are still working on it :). I am sorry I did not see you, I figured Maine was too far away from Cape Cod, and we had a very hectic schedule (as always :)) to drive to the Cape. Next time, I promise!
