Didn't have much time to go shoot for this challenge although I have numerous subtable locations where I live in Colorado. I did however get out long enough to capture an image that turned out pretty good I think. This is a 3 shot HDR processed in Photomatix Pro and then converted to B&W in SEP2 and continued to work it in PSCS5. Mostly just played with opacity levels to get the right tone levels of the grass and sky. A final noise reduction with Neat Image did the trick to get the sky to smooth out the way I wanted it. Overall, very happy with the result.

is that burning that you've done with the tracks in the distance? Maybe, a bit too heavy handed with it? Not sure what I'm seeing but, doesn't look like natural tracks. However, nice shot. (not scoring)
I like the composition and the processing but it seems a bit soft? Would like to see a bit more sharpness. But it's a good photo for the challenge. 7 for now.
