The backside of the drive-in Theatre screen... near sunset after a storm. The processing: crop, rotate to straighten, resize, brightness/contrast, levels, Shadow/highlight, dodge/burn, USM, sfw
....I know the bottom looks weird with the yellow-brown cast, but the sun was setting and thats what it did.

Woot! Congrats on the new personal best! I like your choice of subject matter here - brings back a lot of good memories of station wagons, pillows, and pajamas in my MUCH younger days. And I love the dramatic sky. May be a touch oversharpened/too much contrast - you'll notice a bit of "halo'ing" on the posts in the back which can be sign of either of the above. With lines like the posts, you'll always get a bit of jaggies - very hard to avoid at small sizes like we use here. A good test is to view it full size, full resolution to see if you're still getting jaggies - if you are, you know it's a bit too much sharpening.
i like the idea behind this - good concept! faintly disappointed that this isn't cinematic or quite widescreen enough in feel; drive in theatre's are so dramatic in their own right that a bit of board on scaffold doesn't quite convey - just doesn't have the traditional placement of this kind of thing. the sky is nicely scorched, as is the satuation and what-not, though a little overdone to my tastes. i like it though.
