Here is my entry for this assignment.

Original

I don't know, do you think it would look better in black and white?

I cropped it, changed the exposures around

Exposure: -50

Higlights: 25

Shadows: 30

Contrast: 5

   and then I cross processed and watermarked it. :)

I took this picture outside of Sentry on Thursday afternoon. It was an amazing day, really cool clouds with random bursts of sunlight that lit everything up so well! 

Canon T2i with 18-55mm kit lens.

f-stop 5.6

exposure 1/100

ISO-1600

focal length 55mm

I took it (and most all my pictures) in auto-focus, but I'm slowly working in manual focusing! :)

Don't forget to link up your photo, and vote for your favorite!
