Challenge: Silence III (Advanced Editing VII)
Collection: Challenges 2012
Camera: Canon EOS-7D
Lens: Canon EF 24-105mm f/4.0 L IS
Location: Hawthorne
Date: Nov 25, 2012
Aperture: 6.3
ISO: 250
Shutter: 1/125
Date Uploaded: Nov 25, 2012

 This may look remarkably similar to something posted on my Facebook page taken with my phone camera in that weird Instagram mode.... But this was taken the following day, with my Canon, and processed in Topaz and Nik Color/Silver Efex (played with it a few different ways to get the sorta Instagram feel - not sure which one I stuck with). My neighborhood was built in the mid-1950s and still pretty much looks that way. It's both sweet and quaint.

This is my thirteenth 13th place finish. Now what, exactly, does that tell you? :-)

That fog and not very saturated colors look great. Love the trees and the border. A 9 from me

Well done! I like the composition with the tangly, bendy trees and sidewalk leading into the fog.
