 I am entering this at my own peril and against my husband's advice.

Why? 'Cause it turned out exactly like I wanted it to when I headed out in the rain to take it.

I didn't follow the "rules" on purpose, so I state before I get any comments telling me otherwise -- I meant to do that.

I would love to break a 6, and would be absolutely ecstatic with a 6.5, but in reality am aware that I will probably be lucky to hit 5.5.

Heck, somebody's got to get the brown. May as well be me. :)

Ha! I really liked this and hit you with a 7. Colour palette is gorgeous. It's nice to break the "rules" occasionally too ;) Though I'm not sure why it ended up on the last page...

Nice colours & use of DOF. Not sure that I'd have placed the barb so close to the centre of the frame, however... I really do like it and wanted to let you know that you'd done a super job with this :)
