 I AM EMBARRASSED

Firstly, I rushed to get in this my second shot for the challenge. I was at work and had roughly 20 minutes to do the basic editing. Big mistake!

As far as choice goes, when I saw the traffic radar, it spoke “jumping the gun.” In retrospect I wish I had just not entered. Lesson learned – don’t rush!

Next, I was on a work PC and the monitor calibration showed an okay editing job. It wasn’t until I got home that I noticed so much of it was blown out and as most commented, it had a distinct and bad magenta cast to it all.

I thought of requesting it be removed, but didn’t want a DQ on my portfolio. Also, if I ever get to be good enough to make it into the top 50 or so, I will laugh at my early work.

My comments above say it all. For the four 7's - thanks for keeping me in the overall 4 range.

The colors seem a bit odd and the sky is very overexposed.
