 This is a lamppost outside our Atlantic League baseball park (home of the Long Island Ducks). I like the shape and thought it would make a good entry. Wish I had more time to take the pic (I was illegally parked this morning).

Post-processing:
- Taken in RAW (changed AWB and exposure a bit)
- Cropping
- Brightness/Contrast (up contrast a bit)
- Hue/Saturation (increased saturation of greens)
- USM


Thanks to everyone for their comments during the challenge!!

I read the title "I am P Post" so good portrait. Good for the challenge. Nice blue sky to go with the green and metal colors of the lamppost.

Although it's not the most interesting subject, you've made it look so elegant through your composition and perspective, as well as the image's professional look. Very good job. 9
