They couldn't hit an elephant at this dist. . . . (Gen. Sedgwick 1864, killed in US Civil War)by
davidus428Comment by davidus428: Some people commented it was so orange. Actually it is. it's a "WHITE Elephant", as they say. This is evidenced by its' pinkish skin and WHITISH eyes. This was taken sundown. Light being cast from the ground reflected on the face. Thus the orangy cast.
some thought it was over processed. actually, when I hit autocontrast and auto-color, this is what I got. I adjusted saturation just a tad. I like the color this way, FIERY, it's so unique. Although, as Pointandshoot commented, I was punished for it, still, I think its gorgeous, perfect for a Thailand postcard. Thanks for those who have given me a vote higher than my average.
there was a debate on the forum regarding "misunderstanding" and different interpretations of the challenge. If I only knew... (just read forum on Famous Last Words Scores)... i would have just titled my entry...
"Don't worry it can't reach us" or simply "She's harmless."
I thought I'd get a higher score for doing something creative. Oh well, as they say, this is DPC. Little chance you can please the MAJORITY here.
Peace!
