A blurred shot of the grass (long exposure, moving the camera up and down):
In RAW:
Rotated
As shot, auto
In PSCS2:
Auto levels
Auto color
Hue/saturation
Lots of healing of dust bunnies (because of the high contrast and small aperture; oh, and because my sensor is apparently filthy)
Crop
Levels (to bring up the contrast)

I put a shot somewhat like this in one of the blur side challenges; I hid it during the challenge. I expect this to do very poorly. 'Nuff said.

Post-challenge:
Just for the record, I was not going for the brown. I do not play that particular game (though I've developed a tolerance for those who do). What I was trying to do was to get people to think about an image that was not DPC friendly. This, I know, is a losing battle for the majority of people here (who want prettier and brighter and sharper), but it is a battle worth fighting. I'll keep fighting it.

I gave this the 9. I thought it was so beautiful. And it has all the rainbow colors, so it meets the challenge in my eyes. It looks like watercolor pencils. I love those things.
I guess you are probably shooting for the brown here. Yes I realise its abstract, but its hardly a glowing example of technical photography . poor effort. 2
