Challenge: Magazine Cover Revisited (Advanced Editing I)
Collection: Good - Average
Camera: Canon EOS-300D Rebel
Location: Easton, CT
Date: Mar 20, 2004
Aperture: f7.1
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/400
Date Uploaded: Mar 21, 2004

 I took this shot from behind a window while standing in my living room! One of my first shots with the Canon 28-105mm lens. I had just barely enough resolution to crop the photo with a reasonable amount of detail. The surrounding trees were very distracting, so I masked off the subject and Gaussian blurred like crazy. In a Basic Challenge, I'd be out of luck.

Nice shot, and a good magazine cover, with a vertical format and space at the top that could carry type without spoiling the picture.

great close-up It would make a nice photo magazine cover. The composition is perfect for a cover with lots of free space for text

great capture of the woodpecker...I especaially like the light on it's head. I think that a tighter crop would enhance the photo...from the top and the right side. The colors are very refreshing.,7
