 I thought I had 1 hour and 45 minutes to spare on the deadline of the "Where You Live" challenge since I was going by my local timezone in Hawaii. Apparently, I was 4 hours and 15 minutes LATE!

Everyone thinks of sand, surf, palm trees, flowers, and other greenery along with beautiful women when the word "Hawaii" comes to mind. I chose a dusty, dirty, dry spot with dried weeds, rocks, and garbage trucks. The license plate in the foreground which also says "Hawaii" and "Aloha State" offers a bit of irony.

Your aim and mine were about the same - to show that not everyone has a soft spot in the heart for where they live. Yours was the more poignant statement also in that you live in a place renown for its paradise. (Your shot was also more technically correct than mine, but that's another matter.)

The only thing I might have done differently is to have gotten down closer to the plate, put it more on eye level, then gone for an incredibly small asa (f/32?) to make sure the plate was big and in focus and the rest was smaller yet in focus.

Good luck in your next challenge.
