 taken at a small rapids near my house. I had another entry that was more abstract, but I think this one will score better.

Taken in RAW. Converted in CS3. Layers for levels, curves, hue/sat, Noise Ninja, and sharpen at large radius. resize, small dose of USM at small radius, then added border. then decided to crop some off the top, so had to put border back in!

I like the way the water flows from the lower left corner to the upper right corner. Nice diagonal that really pulls the eye.
