 This was really the only thing that came to mind for this challenge (and I didn't want to take a camera SP). Hopefully, I pulled it off well. It's a rock on white foamboard, lit by flash & flashlights.

PP included very little: Neat Image, crop, levels/curves, USM, save for Web.

Hey. ..I didn't see this in the challenge! Now why in the world did THIS score 4.8 when some of those other silly "ungood" photos didn't! At least this one is compositionally appealing and well shot. I like it!!
