 Ok. Cheesy last minute entry. :-} Had another one where I wasn't smiling quite so much that I probably should have used. The stool? Pulled it from the workshop that's just up the hill. Does it look out of place? Yep. Another one of those; spent too much time on it to throw it out. So, it is what it is! :-D

Oh, and for anyone that looks closely, yeah, didn't do the whole pano thing. I just used a 1.4 wide lens then coaxed the background a little softer with a selection and Gaussian blur at the lowest level of 1. Smudged the foreground a bit too.

The question is - does it look like a Brenizer Method image? If yes, then I met the challenge. However, DNMC is not grounds for a DQ regardless. Only if a special rule is tagged onto the challenge would that apply.
