Challenge: Upside Down III (Basic Editing)
Camera: Nikon D40
Location: vancouver
Date: Oct 11, 2008
Aperture: 7.1
ISO: 200
Shutter: 250
Date Uploaded: Oct 13, 2008

 taken from the crossbar of a swing-set. The two children in the background were just passing through near the end of the shoot. I like the colour, feel and scale that they add to the photo, though not everyone who's seen this shot has agreed.
Editing includes: some cropping, contrast, saturation and tint adjustment in i-photo.
I wish i could make the shot bigger without going over the file-size limit but don't yet know how!

Quite a bit smaller than allowed which will possibly affect your score, also looks like it has had the acid treatment on it which I don't think adds anything to the image. If this is not the case then the colours look off.

What I like about this is that you've achieved the challenge objective without simply taking an image and rotating it 180 degrees. You've looked for a situation where something, or in this case someone, has a genuine reason to be upside down. The quirky angles and the bright colours of her blue jeans, the yellow and red coats of the other kids and the muted green and gold of the ground all work well.
