Thanks to my choosing buddies vawendy, [user]Yo-Spiff[/user], and [user]Bear-Music[/user], for helping me, well, choose!
I had this idea all week but didn't get around to shooting until today. The chair wasn't part of the original plan, but one of the tenants was moving out and this was his. I borrowed it for my idea, and only used it for a couple of shots. This was the only one I took like this.
convert from raw
rotated
crop
denoise
sharpen
adjusted hue/saturation
adjusted exposure
tiny cloned spots for scratches etc.
vibrance
gradient layer to tame hot spot (thanks guys!!!)
layer for vignetting
save for web
[post-challenge]
Rather shocked that this score got me in the top 20!!!! Thank you all for the wonderful comments and votes.
saintaugust is spot on about the lighting. It was the thing I fretted over when I considered entering the shot, and I definitely feel it impacted the scoring. Sigh. Sometimes our best shots are unplanned and imperfect :-)
