I feel like the decision should be clear without having to read this title. In this case, it isn't, so even though it's a nice picture in its own right, I don't think it meets the challenge well...

It's funny; I look at this and see an image that would fit right in a Sierra Club book. I see an image that would fit into an Eliot Porter portfolio if the damned thing were shot with a view camera exactly as otherwise done here. What I do NOT see is a 98th-place image in a granularity challenge.

I'm coming to realize there's no place in DPC for the contemplative detail, the textured nuances of art. I mean, I always "knew" this, but I figured "In a challenge the TOPIC of which is "granularity", surely such an image might find its home!" I was wrong. But I still like it a whole hell of a lot.

the colours and clarity soo fine
i would not have any trouble to make some room in the top 10 for this one to have a home
but thats just me

Pretty lighting makes this shot. Must've been challenging not to completely blow the highlights.

Such a simple shot yet it has so much impact for me. An instant favourite!
