Auto levels and auto color
rotate 2 degrees and crop

I was thinking this being straight out of the camera would have made for an excellent "Grain" entry but was taken during Canadian Thanksgiving weekend. I was trying a new technique.

Please be as honestly as you wish so I may be inclinde to start another thread on how nobody likes my work and maybe get into a fight with someone over what "art" is. j/k ;)

I also prefer it without the stump, to me the stump gives the viewer two main sources to look at, dividing their attention, but, as we all know, that is MHO!!

I like the POV of the one with the stump better. But don't like the stump being there. Can you clone out the stump?

Nah I'm not to good with photoshop so editing is very basic.

Just go back out there move the stump and reshoot it. It will be like cloning only a little more hands on. ;-)

Clearly, you are easily confused. You're the guy that doesn't know what to do when there are more than two cars at a four-way stop. ;-P

isn't the stop sign with the white outer ring optional???

edit: spelling is like my photography, I just can't do it.

wait? the stump was real? I thought it was photoshopped in as a joke! looks so much better without the stump, wouldn't be the same picture with it
