Really pleased this performed well! I hope your disappointment over the minimal editing challenge is alleviated a little by this - fantastic image and choice for the challenge. My top pick!

Such a perfectly shot image, very stock standard. The lighting was spot on. Was my top pick. Congrats.

No, I did not slurp the screen. Didn't even think about it. ;-)

Sorry to see your DQ :( I always get nervous with image validation, even when I haven't done much in the way of editing. I do import into LR, so I may need to watch out when doing JPG.

I'm pretty lazy, but at the same time my flow is pretty quick. I download the RAW file to my iPhone and then upload to LR to do basic editing on my phone almost in real time. From there at some point I will sign into my PC, export the original to my photo folder + export the edit as a JPG. Lastly I export to PS for any intensive edits / resize and sharpening. I very rarely take out my CF or SD cards to plug them manually into my PC. Final final steps are I backup my images to an external drive before clearing them off my camera's cards.

oh Erin .. just noticed the dq ..
i dont use lightroom or import into photoshop .. so would never have known that that would be a problem in a minimal edit challenge ..
i've read what you wrote in the dq thread .. and you are right . .
they should make it very obvious what you can do in a minimal edit ..

i'm really sorry this happened to you and knocked this stunning image off the front page ..
you should print it and hang it on your wall .. its just so beautiful .. that way the dq mightnt feel quite so yucky .. xx

Very nice dual portrait in a moody rural setting. I've no idea, but Kansas comes to mind. I like how they're standing in the golden grass.
Title sounds a bit snide.
