Camera: Nikon D70
Lens: Nikon AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5G IF-ED
Location: Golden, CO
Date: Aug 24, 2007
Aperture: 8.0

Date Uploaded: Aug 29, 2007

 Shadow of a handrail falling across concrete steps in midday sun.
Minimal editing with Brightness/Contrast, Curves, slight Hue adjustment, and a Dissolved Layer to get a grainier effect.
I'm sure it won't garner a 5, since it is more arty and not oversaturated colors, but I thought it was very interesting and it messes with your eyes.
And NO the Highlights are not BLOWN. :)

Interesting photographic abstract. Reminds me of modern art, which I admittedly don't always understand.

Nice shot - Like the tones - Interesting composition feel it could do with a little something extra to make a point of interest.
