Challenge:Pink (Advanced Editing IV) Camera:Canon EOS-20D Location: La Center, WA Date: Feb 2, 2005 ISO: 100 Shutter: 7 Seconds Date Uploaded: Feb 6, 2005
Not the original shot I wanted, was racing the sun to my chosen spot and when I got there, this thick fog had beaten me to it. I cussed a lot and just gave up and when I got off the freeway at my exit, the fog lifted enough to give me this and it will have to do.
Very little done to the photo. Crop, very slight desat to compensate for the longer exposure, a clone out of a electrical wire that ran to the house. I do love the fog as it reflected the brilliant colors of the sky ... although it also made for a difficult exposure balance.
Being that I was losing the sun, the pink started fading quickly but I think there is still enough to qualify.

Wow ... you all are tough! I even checked with multiple unbiased people to see what they thought were the primary colors of this shot and heard Orange and Hot Pink from nearly every one.
Like some said, I think it would have done much better in another challenge due to the color.
Thisi s a beautiful photo but I'm not sure where the pink is! Such a shame. I don't know what your score is right now but I get the feeling this would have done much better in another challenge.
