Would like to see the settings for this to capture the stars and streak in the upper right and to yet get decent DOF. Cool. The image was not stretched but its shot with a 14mm lens which distorts elements close to the edge of the frame. I hope my wife in the frame does not read your comment though. She uses shoe size 6 Ummmm ... tell her it was a typo? Yep, that's what it was. Meant to say 6 not 16. :-)

Haha its all goood fun. In your defense she was wearing two down jackets and a woolen sweater, makes her look a bit beefy :D

I think centering the tunnel and the road would help the image. Also there are strange artifacts in the shadows on both left and right side of the image.

Thanks Debbi for the comment and the 9. I was prepared to get some low votes on this one as it techinally does not fit the challenge description. There were some 1s, 3s and 4s likely because of that.

Too bad to see this DQ. Mine was aswell. IMOA the Date Modified is a strange way to detect this specially on archived photos. Mine was 10 years old and had been copied from one hard drive to another and this changed the Date Modified. When I travel I do download my files on a temporary storage and then it gets put in my permanent storage when I am home. This changes the Date Modified at least on Windows machines.
