I kinda went a step further I shot in 640X480 mode with all settings at 0 for sharpness,color,and contrast.
It's not even rotated I went straight from camera to upload It will probably do badly because of the orientation I just hope you didn't give it a 1 for that ;)

Given that rotation WAS allowed (per a statement from Langdon in the forums), this should have been rotated by you. However, since the rules were never changed on the challenge page, I can deal with it. This really captures an element of the past, and it does so in a very appealing fashion.
Asking us to flip ourselves actually matches the camera's operation! Except that we would have to turn it ALL the way over (180 degrees). Nice tones and good shot.
You didn't take any chances on the orientation I see. I wouldn't have marked down for it anyway. Really great shot straight out of the camera. Wow, just think if you DID use your software. 8!
