My first fairly major workshoped picture. Shot in ISO1600, so the grain was blurred out. Brighten silhouette, stars, clone out weeds, sharpen shadow edges, adjust brightness and color.
It was shot using and IR trigger and exposed for 30 Seconds, I wanted to get Higher but this was as far as the IR remote would reach. I hope you like it, I spent about 5 hours on it!

I think this is wonderful. It's hard for me to tell if it was a real photo or just a digital creation but the end result works for me. The theme is clearly expressed, the grout in the tile provides great leading lines and the overall composition is a lot of fun. congrats.
WOW ! If you had done a crop to take out the top area and left the black then the bottom this would be a 10 and a print I would buy. The sunlight area draws the eye away from the main subject, the shadow. It's still great and outside the box.
Just maybe try that crop ?
WOW! fabulous photo... you should be very proud of this one... I'll be curious to see the specifics behind this after the end of the chlallenge... AWESOME composition... very very cool! congrats! SOLID 10
