Sometimes you get lucky. This just shows how little PP can be needed at times. Still won the ribbon (gives hope to those who feel PS is still an exercise in futility). This has only simple RAW conversion to it, likely no more than in-camera JPG would do.

I'm disappointed. You didn't stand on your head to take that one? ;oP
Statements about using photoshop to save images is just way off base in a lot of cases.
It's refreshing going through the entries for 'straight' - I'd almost forgotten what real, unsaturated colours looked like! :)
I would bet many of the entries had the saturation, contrast and sharpness boosted in camera not to mention the use of camera filters to warm or otherwise tint the image. Reality is hardly ever captured and entered in these challenges even in this one.
Well I guess if you look at it that way, anything other than our own eyes will ever capture reality.
Cannot wait to see which camera makes it the most; for lets say the top 50.
Don't forget lenses. This is a lot like the bokeh challenge where it's more about the equipment you use.
