First challenge with the new D200. Shot at 18mm just after the sun went down.
This will probably bomb, but I really like the colours in this image. It is clear shot into the sun, so I feel it meets the challenge.
Post processing:
RAW conversion.
Crop a few pixels off each side to get to exactly 3:2 aspect ratio.
Set black and white point using levels.
Aggressive contrast adjustment with curves.
Border, resize, smart sharpen, save for web.

It's the first and probably one of many pictures where I will ask the question - does silouette count for the theme do we differentiate between silouette shot and contre-jour, where there's a clear subject lit by backlight? I will go half-way and give it a five. Again, it's a beautiful shot all in all.
