DGrin Photo Challenge #2.4

Welcome to round 4 of the new DGrin Challenges. This challenge is open to any dgrin member. It will run from Monday, July 14, 00:01 (12:01am), NYC time (GMT -5) to Monday, July 28, 00:01 (12:01am), NYC time (GMT -5).

The topic ready for your interpretation: Photo Filters.

[FONT=Verdana][FONT=Verdana]OK guys, this one is more of a requirement than a theme. It will help you practice another tool for your photographer's toolbox and the actual subject matter is wide open. Filters, whether used on/in camera, or in post processing, can assist in achieving spectacular results and a unique look. Show us how subtle yet effective they can be, or go completely hog-wild. The choice is yours. A word of caution, however, using filters arbitrarily can lead to a confusing message within your image. Put forethought into it and show us some finesse![/FONT][/FONT]
