Challenge: Over- (Minimal Editing I*)
Collection: 2010
Camera: Nikon D60
Lens: Nikon AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR
Location: Cork city gaol
Date: Aug 8, 2010
Aperture: f/3.5
ISO: 100
Shutter: 2.5
Date Uploaded: Aug 8, 2010

 Was taking a picture of this for the 'dramatic' perspective kinda thing that's going on with the banister. I was kind of annoyed when people walked into my shot but it turned out very nice.
It's quite fitting that the people look like ghosts cause it's in an old jail where many people died.

Editing:
None. Straight from camera.

Anticipated criticisms:
* Staircase on the top left corner. Didn't notice it in my viewfinder, alas.
- I think I'd leave it in there for this shot even if this was in advanced editing. It fits thirds on the bottom of the staircase nicely.
* It's a little over bright
- Didn't want to edit anything in case I inadvertently broke the rules.

Conclusions:
Minimal editing sucks!

Quick advanced edit:

It might be a wee bit oversaturated. But doesn't that just add to the 'over' theme? I think that was the first time I softened an image. I normally like details, but figured soft was more fitting to the ghostly theme.

Shame on the DQ - I also prefer the original over the edit.

I think the original looks better than your edit. Too bad about the DQ - I really liked this one.

Pretty good long exposure. The overall exposure is okay. The composition could have been more interesting.

Title DNMC strictly speaking, shot is however well balanced and conceptualised.

Oh, this is really nice. The motion blur really makes this shot, as does the interesting pov. It would be nice to see a version with a bit more contrast, not for this challenge of course. Well seen and captured.
