 Actually it's an abandoned motel in Florida. I thought it was photogenic and was a spin on Bank that I didn't see mentioned on the forums (broken bank, bank that is out of money, broken by the bank, broke bank mountain (I guess that last one doesn't really work)). Intentionally drifted the palette, shifted for an old cheapo camera look. I assume this shot will be killed for that reason. I like it for the challenge anyway.

So, as I collect another brown with this one, I get that my post processing made sure the shot did not score well. As I explained when asked to verify the validity of the shot (I'm not sure why the request was made not that I mind), I was aiming for capturing perhaps something too specific and obscure. The "bank" or "at least least partially bank owned building" in the shot has obviously seen some wear and tear. I was thinking that someone financially burdened with this place grabbed their old plastic film camera using expired film, took the shot, and had it processed with the wrong chemicals. Or something like that. Anyhow, now that I feel I know how to score a brown, I will start working on a personal best as well, just to broaden the portfolio. Thank you very much to my commenters! Oh, and that's not a fingerprint but just some chickenwire-like fencing stuff -- it extends to the two brown posts to the left.

I dont think pink is the right colour for this image. Black and white or even sepia maybe.

I have no idea if you did this intentionally, but the colours in this image range from pink to red to purple. It most certainly got my attention, but for all the wrong reasons. You may wish to calibrate your equipment.
