 Just mowing my backyard. I stood in the shade, used a polarizer filter and a grad ND filter. I then reflected light back at myself and the mower with a big silver reflector.

Oops, thought I had this in there already. I had originally typed that I was very dismayed with the limit of 150k on this challenge. That is a big reason why the image looks so poor. There was so much color information in the shot that I had to reduce my jpeg to a 3. A 3!!! It was very frustrating. I wish we could go to 200k or 250k and leave the image size alone I don't care. Just give me room for all the info when I need it dammit.

It seems a bit noisy and oversaturated to me.

The composition and sun burst are very nice, but the picture seems to have been overly compressed so that the colors don't transition from one shade to another very smoothly ("Save for Web" may be the culprit here?).

I think I know this guy. Have we met? That lawn mower looks familiar. That being said, I like the composition of this shot, it's simple yet it's able to hold ones interest. It's nice to see that the medication is working :)~

MAX!

you probably had a good photo before the PP. It didnt help the pic. I would have rated it higher if you hadnt gone overboard with the PP

Not bad but the emphasis is on the mower rather than the lawn. Love the colors and the angle works just fine by me.

It's an uphill battle, eh?
