 yes, that's right. ISO 800. Why? Because I'm an idiot. I set my camera to shoot indoors and then I went outdoors. It makes cropping impossible, but that's not why I didn't crop this. I actually like the composition. All I did was some curves to add contrast and thus drama, and then I used hue/sat (twice) to redden the yellows and make them orange, and intensify the blues, and selective color just for good measure. A slight USM: .3 pixels at about 79%

Centered, a tree coming out of her head (well, skewering her right through) - you do like to poke fingers in the eyes of the rulemongers, doncha? ;)

This is really a nice shot. I find it strange it is rated so low as I am not quite sure what would turn off voters. I can understand it does not have the pop most voters are looking for, but it is a wonderful scene.

Human nature and subtle compliments. Wish she wasn't so centered with a tree sprouting out of her head. I really like the idea.

This would have been a great pic if the colors were a bit brighter, in my opinion.

Cute idea. I wish the colors were more vibrant but this shot is very original and you get points for that!
