 Could not think of *anything* so went to wikipedia and read through yearly chronicles for something a) big enough to be recognized b) possible to depict in a shot.

Decided to go on with U.S Presidential Election 2000 and here's the result. Shot a RAW (NEF) and gave it some Photoshop (Color Balance, Brightness/Contrast, Hue/Saturation, Unsharp Mask) to give it the final look.

I feel like this is pretty far fetched so I'm not waiting to get more than average grades. Just want to participate in every challenge possible, even if it's as hard as this is. :) As always, can't wait to cast my votes and see YOUR submissions.

lol Nothing like a little political commentary, eh? Still, there's no doubting the year that this occured in. Sharp idea.

good idea.

Good idea. I'd like it better with just the graphic of the wastepaper baskets withouth the hands. A little tighter shot would have been good too.

Creative. Definitely captures a moment in time, even for me as a Canadian.
