Challenge: Accidental Letters (Basic Editing III*)
Camera: Fujifilm FinePix S5100
Location: Hwy 61 @ Carver Ave, Newport, MN

Aperture: 3.1
ISO: 100

 This was really weird. I was out taking pictures of a stream that I found off of a frontage road in a neighboring city. I shot something like 148 pictures and went home. When I was going thru them all and looking I noticed that the branches infront of the waterfall spelled "HI"! I swear I didn't even notice this when I was taking the picture, it's like it just happened. Weird stuff...

Anyways, auto adjusted color, contrast, and levels in PS. Decreased size and uploaded to here after adding a border. Hope you like it, it's not that cool of shot but I figure my chances of taking it without knowing were like 1/108943782 which is a lot worse then my chances of winning!

Not sure what the letters are here. If they're in the out of focus branches, they aren't noticeable enough.

This is a nice shot, however as far as the challenge goes, I would have put the name of the letter in the title so people knew just what to look for, no letters overly stand out to me in this shot.

This is a nice image. I like how cool the water looks. I also like the texture seen in the rocks surroundint the water. nice work.

Very pretty image. I don't feel however it fits the challenge very well. While I could sit for hours finding all of the hidden letters in this photo, I feel that the subject of the photo should be the letter. Weak for meeting the challenge but very nice photo otherwise.. crip, nice colors, pretty to lok at.. so I go with a decent score regardless.

Good move! Let the voters find the letters - they'll think they're stupid if they can't find any, so they'll assume they are there and give you a high score just for a good photo! ...oh yes, I see the "I" now. ;-)

I see a blurry streak towards the left side and ir is distracting. Also the branches take away from the focus on the waterfall, all my eyes want to see are the branches.
