Photo created using D200 Image Overlay function in camera.
As basic editing rules state, "Any modification done inside the digital camera itself is considered acceptable for challenge submission" I assume this function is legal to use, though I suspect I'll find out for sure very soon.
RAW conversion using ACR. Basic curves adjustment, sharpening, and addition of frame in PSCS2.

Comments/Reasoning: Exposure is very harsh and the overall image quality appears to be fairly low. The photograph doesn't stand out on its own, and the use of color and light did not compliment the image. I do like the idea though (hence the tilt)
