Challenge: The Four Elements II (Advanced Editing V)
Camera: Nikon D200
Lens: Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR II
Location: Over Singapore
Date: May 25, 2007
Aperture: F4.8
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/500
Galleries: Sky, Black and White
Date Uploaded: May 27, 2007

 Flying out of Singapore the sun was going down and cast some nice shades.

EDIT: Levels, saturation, some sharpening and noise reduction. Some dodge and burn. Resize, resharpen, border, save for web...basic stuff.

PREDICTIONS: I don't think this will do well - not that I have been accurate with my personal predictions lately - they have gone better than expected. But I think this will be a strong field of contenders. 6.2 tops

POST: For an out of the airplane window shot, this did OK, didn't it? I am really grateful for the result. 28th in a top field is really good actually. There are many images below me that I expected to do better. In the end, thanks everyone.

Well expressed texture of clouds, a little bit too oversaturated blue for my taste.

Those billowing clouds are totally fascinating viewed from above. I really like the gradient of light and color through the photo. Very nice photo!
