On a drive from Pt. Reyes to Petaluma California in the late afternoon noticed this spillway. The overcast sky gave the rushing waters a "chromelike" appearance.

Thanks for the generous thought Ralfw. As someone who just signed on to DPC I was not going to participate in challenges for a month or so until I felt comfortable I understood how they are interpreted but I saw this scene and thought it might fit. I am looking forward to the next challenge.

dannylee -

The earth is off it's axis! Your shot should not have scored so low!
On to the next round and the next challenge! :)

I like your entry for "chrome", others just don't see it yet! Give them time! (I voted it a 7 BTW because of it's originality.)

Colors could really use a boost of either brightness or contrast, this might also help the water really shine like chrome. Kind of a cool idea, good eye for seeing this.
