I'm hoping for a 6+ (or 7+ haha) but I guess that will all depend on the other images in this challenge (and how creative they are). No matter how it scores tho, I really do like what I was able to create here. So it won't bother me to have this be a permanent part of my portfolio.
For the record, this looks way better as a negative image than in the original form.

Well... I'm giggling because I absolutely love this as it just brings me closer to my lovely Kansas and the whole history of it all. This evokes ideas (for me) of what it might look like during a tornado or even during the times of the dust bowl. Quite ominious and foreboding. Defiant, even.
wonderful michelle .. love the inversion and how it has worked .. (i put it in photoshop and did an inversion on your inversion just to see !!) .. love the sky, it looks almost solid with your process .. its an excellent image and very dramatic .. :)
