Wonderful image. Though it conveys "weather", it does not illustrate something that is "weathered" to me. The challenge description does say "affected by the weather", so I am honoring that description, even though I think it is misleading.
I get the idea, but seems to more emphasize "Weather" rather than "Weathered". It is that old Title/Description debate. Still, I like the entry and giving this an 8.
Did you think this was the weather challenge? Darn... I hate giving this a 1, I really, really do, but it's 100% DNMC DNRD.. Darn. This is a great image, really super nice, but you've totally blown the challenge.
