Challenge: Silence IV (Basic Editing I)
Camera: Sony DSC-F707
Location: My home in Maryland
Date: Mar 2, 2004
Aperture: F2.2
ISO: 100
Shutter: 2.0 Sec
Galleries: Nature
Date Uploaded: Mar 2, 2004

 Taken just after sunset while trying out a new telephoto lens. First submission, thought it might fit the challenge. Cropped, increased contrast, removed dust, slight blur, and added border. The reduction in size and quality caused a bit of a grainey look, still not too bad.

the color of this image is very interesting.. the blue and the black.. compostion is good, but the power lines in the shot ruin it for me.. a good image can be made or broken by small details..

It is unfortunate this is limited to basic editing. Eliminating the distracting wires in this image would improve it greatly.

Cliche but good in a sense, Siloutte of picture is nice. It would be better if there was no powerline in the background of the trees

This would be much better if it didn't have the wires running through the trees. Still I like this. I like the simple blue and black tones.

Not sure how you took this shot, but the circle effect and power lines behind the trees ruin it for me.
