I'm a little bummed out about the quality... there is a lot of detail in this image that got muddy when saved at the allowed 150k file size (put the quality rating at 61). I decided to submit it anyway since I really like it. Also not sure how the processing will go over with voters... One of those things that seems to hit or miss.
