Yes, I freely admit I took a picture and crowbarred it into a concept to make it fit either challenge. For some reason I would have preferred to enter the other challenge but this was the best idea I could think of.
Had to compress this a heck of a lot to get under the file size limit.
Editing:
in lightroom: WB, crop, contrast, exposure boost, a touch of exposure recovery, clarity, vibrance, contrast, then twiddled with the sliders for orange, blue and aqua, and added a touch of sharpening.
Opened up in PSP, and added a touch of USM, then added borders and text.
