| The image previously in 5th place in the "Stationary" challenge was disqualified because of spot editing. Congratulations to Eric Snook (anmldoc) on 5th place. |

Ooooops, I thought you meant "stationery"! I nearly keeled over in my chair! I didn't do any spot editing! WHOOOOO, geesh, that was quite an upset for a minute there!

| I don't understand. The photographer says it's only his second entry in 2 years. He registered in 2003 and this is his only entry on his bio page. What gives? |

not everybody who registers at the site participates fully. some don't even participate at all. this guy probably just decided to get active... |

I think that's an assumption based on lack of imagination about how one might achieve a range of effects at the time of the shoot. Vignetting (as in bryanbrazil's entry can easily be achieved (accidentally or deliberately) by using the wider end of a lens that's too wide for the body, by screwing on too many filters to the front of the lens and or even by using a filter with vignette applied to it. The dark sky in structor's shot could have been achieved with a polariser or graduated ND filter. It's a shame neither photographer entered any information on how they created their images but assuming they have been post processed is a bit of a jump at this stage.

They both finished top 5, they automatically get sent request for validation.

Yup, both look legal to me. I don't see obvious dodging/burning, just looks like good clean shot and good clean processing. (and probably a gradient filter on that first one - on the camera)

For the sunrise image, the vignetting was achieved by using the Selective Color tool to increase the black level on the black channel. The deep reds were a result of aggressive use of Shadow/Highlights tool and Hue/Saturation on the various color channels.
Hope that helps,
Bryan

I'm glad nobody questions my entry. I guess a big blob of sensor dust helps :)

Great explanation Kavita! The vignetting was mostly the result of multiple graduated neutral density filters. I've added all my editing steps to the image description.

Yeah, that usually helps to let voters know it is legal :-)

I noticed that but it didn't bother me. However, that is the funkiest looking sensor dust I have ever seen.

i haven't seen anything like that before, too. I suspect it is a tiny hair out of focus there.
