I came a cross this pipe when I was taking pictures of the sunset and thought the view throught it would fit the circle challenge! I changed the levels, shadow/highlight, brightness/contrast.

For this contest everyone who has the word “circle” in their title is getting a lower score. This is a copy and paste version that I am including in every photo that I downgrade due to the title. We as members of DPchallenge know the topic of the challenge – we do not need to reread the topic every time we reach a photo. If circle is in the title and it is appropriate I will most likely not down grade, but it better be good. I am sorry if you do not agree with my method of protest – but scores are all I have.
I like this photo. but I can not give it more than 7. my reason is simple. The circle is too round. In my opinion, a wider view of the background would make this photo perfect. if you moved to one side, so the circle would appear to be an ellipse. that way, it would give more view of the beautiful background. also, it would make this photo more interesting to me.
