 Scrabble board game - Pretty weak I know but couldn't think of anything else once I had this in my head. :) I wanted to put 'DPC' off the 'P' on 'CROP' but I was worried I would get the negative comments that DPC wasn't a word. lol

PS Post Processing:

Levels,
Saturation, (15%),
Little Dodge and Burn,
Crop,
Save for web.

Cheers Matt

Interesting and funny how the subject placement and angle create a feeling that this isn't square crop at all (it is, I know). Nice work!

Well, this must be a GIS_boy. Great colour, crisp, great DOF, and that border really adds to the balance of the image! Definitely a 10 from the Manic.....
