This isn't the crop I was trying for. I would have preferred a landscape crop with a lot more LP to the left of the needle. The record had too much dust to the left of where I finally cropped it. I was going to reshoot it but ran out of time.

Editing Steps:
curves
crop
levels
auto colour
desaturate reds
resize
add borders
usm

Post Challenge:
I wasn't going to submit this image but at the last minute thought I should to learn something new. Other than a lack of "wow" the comments haven't helped me much.

Gerry,

I'm not sure I agree with your Post Challenge comment. Three of the comments you received summed it up very well, "Sorry, can't see the relation to the challenge", "I would like to see the lines on the album in better focus", and "Be careful. People may not understand that". The way your image was presented, the "lines" were the secondary subject. By far, the needle and arm are much more prominent and visually, the primary focal point. If I had voted in this challenge I would have given you a 5 because you met the challenge but your subject choice was weak for the challenge description. Coincidentally, that seems to be what the final score for this image ended up being. Hope this helps you better understand the placement of your entry.

Tim
