A friend of mine, Lacie and I drove up the canyon to go snap a few pictures... I had the camera in the wrong proportion when I was taking this picture but I took it anyways cause It looked a bit cool in the viewfinder. Well, no semi's here at least. I didnt know much that I could do for editing here. Blur tool used here and there, de-saturated slightly.

Hey guys... thanks a lot for the comments. I feel pretty stupid for realizing I cropped her fingers out!!!. How did I not notice...? Ohhh well. My mistake...
I selected the wrong camera on the post...
It's taken with a Pentax *ist DS with the kit lens.
Don't know if you'll get dinged for smply turning a protrait to landscape, but it works for me. I like it alot. The colors are beautiful, the focus and DOF is excellent.My only complaint (and it's a maybe) is that her fingertips didn't survive the crop.
Good job.
EDIT - back to it at the finish line. In my top five. bumping
this is a great shot - looks like a senior photo or something along those lines. The exposure is top notch, as is the scenery and the way that the subject is framed. However, for this challenge, I would much rather see a shot somposed for the horizontal than a vertical shot turned sideways.
are they bashing you with the litteral meaning of this challenge? I'd bet so, but I hope not. This is an arresting image! Love it on lots of levels - 8 for now
hahaha...take a vertical shot, turn it around and...voila..theres your landscape oriented shot... that aside, I would have preffered the whole hand in the frame
Great tilt! I like the blur of the background too...nice job with that. Only thing I would change is the border...just a tad too thick but nothing so bad it would change the score I'm leaving. 8
I had to look at this photo for a while before I could decide if I liked the rotation or not. I think it works really well having her face exactly upright in the image, playing tricks with my eyes. They yellow line leads nicely into the picture as well. Cool idea. I like it!
Nice DOF! Unique take on landscape & portrait! Great model! Creative! Great eye! In a phrase, Great job with Hurry-Up Photography! (I think she makes a much better "Seat Cover" than "Hood Ornament!") :}
LOOK OUT! HERE COMES A ...Yeah, I can't quite get on my feet, here. And, I can't decide if she needs her fingertips or not, either. Anyway...OH, I'm all discombooberated! (7)
This certainl grabbed my attention! Interesting choice on perspective. Beautiful location. The only thing that bothers me is that her fingers are cropped out.
