Challenge: The Username Challenge II (Basic Editing)
Collection: Challenges 2007
Camera: Canon EOS-30D
Lens: Canon EF 24-105mm f/4.0L IS
Location: Wiesbaden, Germany
Date: May 20, 2007
Aperture: f/5.6
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/125
Date Uploaded: May 22, 2007

First and foremost, apologies to the talented gentleman with this username - I'd originally intended to find a suitable bucket in a suitable situation where the obvious choice was a black and white rendering. Instead, I found this bucket, which really needed to be in color. Still, I offer this as a humble tribute and as thanks for sharing your work.

Post processing - As part of this new team concept, I ended up reshooting this based on feedback, and am quite delighted that the bucket was still there where I found it in the first place. I'm also trying to "do more!" with Photoshop, if for no other reason than to learn how to. Levels, curves, hue/sat, brightness/contrast, selective color, sharpen, resize add borders.

And I will, with honor, bring home the team Brown. :-)

Post Challenge: Seriously, mega-apologies to Bucket. The tribe has spoken and this, apparently, really does suck. Sorry about that.

Very nice shot Deb. Tons of interest. The colors and patterns are terrific.

Hey deb, funnyily enough I had really liked this picture in the challenge but would never had put it down as one of yours (no reason other than its unlike any of yours I have seen before). Love the vibrancy of the colours and the composition in terms of rule of thirds (both the bucket and the swathe of dayglo pink paint). And just to be perverse....I really like the border, I thought it set the colours off well

I like your composition and the picture overall, but the border is a bit large, in my opinion.

nice color - hard to determine the bucket

Ehm, this frame really isn't complimenting the image I'm afraid... and the bucket doesn't look very appealing :p
