 Matt with his wife Cindy owned the house we stayed in for three nights in Vermont. It was really lovely, overlooking the Passumpsic River valley, one of our fave rentals so far. I didn't plan this photo shoot, but we arrived after a long day out to Mt Washington, and Matt was collecting apples, and I kindly asked him if I could take some photos and he obliged willingly.

Although this image meets the challenge well, I'm very curious about one or two processing issues. First, the colour of the apples in his hand really looks weird on my screen (not natural, quite oversaturated) and second, the background shows a dark green line between the hills on the right and the sky, often as a result of adjusting local contrast/clarity too much. I'm a big fan of your images, but truly I can't understand the high score score for this image. Nevertheless congratulations with your TT, you really are doing great in the Unofficial DPC Point & Ribbon Race 2015!
