As usual, edited raw file in DxO PL5 the tweaked and replaced sky in Elements (unlike other entrants, I didn't realize that there was already potential color in the sky ).

Competition is now closed. Voting after a night sleep.

 

[Zeus1]

The image I proposed was perhaps a bit too easy, not enough things to change...all entries are very good. Not that many entries, though, just the usual bunch of participants. That's why I'm going the ask our newest participant @Stiga to host. the next Digital Darkroom!

Winner: @Stiga
First runner-up: a draw between @WhidbeyLVR, @RobD, @kae1, @BosseBe, @gecko

And don't dare to complain, It's my turn to vote

 

[Stiga]

Wow, I did'nt expect that! I only signed up recently and am still findimg my way around.. I'll try to grt a ne image up later today. but please let me know I make a mis-step! From what you say it seems as if I should post something difficult rather than a pretty picture!

 

[Stiga]

I am totally stumped. Have spent the last 90 minutes trying to start a new challenge but keep getting a message saying that I must enter a valid titkle. So I am gpimg top post here andf hope that a kind mpoderator can move it for me

Did you go to "Forums" and select "Photo Challenges" then "New"? Then the title would be "Digital Darkroom Derby #42"

Yes, that's what I did.

 

[RobD]

Very strange! Asking for a valid Title. The new post has a position for the title above the body text, so I can't suggest any other solution. Cheers, Rob

 

[Stiga]

Thanks Rob
