Cold hotel room + hot, humid seaside = condensation out the wahoo. First, the polarizer and the lcd. that cleared up, then the lens and the viewfinder. finally i thought it had all cleared up when apparently, the mirror condensed over. lovely soft focus, pinhole feel to a bunch of shots.
This one was slightly foggy, but a huge contrast boost and a bunch of other stuff made it at least viewable. I don't expect to score over 5, and if it hadn't been advanced editing, I wouldn't have scored over 4. :)

Geeze, I can't believe this image got so utterly hammered, holy smokes! I'm the one that gave you your lone 10, and I can't understand how this image failed to move at least a few more viewers. The sense of stark, surreal immediacy, the inarticulate *foreboding* of the image, are just remarkable. But evidently I'm way out of tune with the rest of the voters on this one, and you know, I don't care! I'm making you the second-ever winner of the Golden Bear award :-)
