 Shot this at Okinawa Expo park and fell in love with it. I kind of went out of my comfort zone on the editing but felt I needed to so that I could compete with these marvels here on DPC. I'm acutally hoping it gets mistaken for one of Sherpet's (too bring my score up of course, not your's down lol)

Sorry but the strong halo and look of this image doesn´t appeal to me at all, whatever was done in post processing would have to have been toned down a LOT for it to cater to my taste. Voted a 3.

This would be a good entry for the Expressionism challenge. Nice painterly feel.
