A few commenters wondered about my dirty windshield shot. I used my favorite technique for turning minimal contrast into texture and flatness into odd colors by use of tone curves.
I started with this shot of an abondoned car:
Cropped, then a tone curve for contrast:
 
and finally another curve for color:
To give my entry: 
I tried to keep some recognizable shapes (mainly the sweep of the wipers) while getting rid of the writing and any other obvious signs of human presence.
I almost titled it Lunar Irrigation System, especially after the first adjustment : ) |

| Truly an arresting abstract image...... I had no initial idea of what it was, of course the title provided the clue...... I would have believed it was a Lunar Irrigation System, but my initial positive response was to the excellent design and wierd green colour. Your crummy score on this included my vote of an 8 for the good crop and remarkable textures & composition. |
