dgrin challenge 32 is here. it will run from monday, february 7th 2005 at 12:00:01 a.m. nyc time, through monday, february 21st, 2005 at noon nyc time. the guest judge for the challenge will be the winner of challenge 31, as determined by the voters.

remember, in order for everyone to benefit, you should be commenting and critiquing for others as much as you expect to get for yourself. you've got to give to get!

challenge 32 is about predominant color. subject matter and theme is wide open, but your image must have a single predominant color. i don't have a whole bunch of good examples, so i'll try and shoot along with you guys during this challenge :D

remember, this is a "no photoshop challenge" so only basic editing i allowed, sharpness, simple color adjustments, contrast, dodging/burning.

    I can't hold a candle to the other entries here, and admittedly this was an impromptu shot, but I figure if I'm going to share my opinion on the work of others I should at least offer up my work as well. Removed Red-Eye, adjusted brightness/contrast and cropped.

    Info: taken at 11:50 a.m. in a very sunny day (gold sun) near the window (oh, how I like window's portraits!) in a room with vinous colored walls, golden oaken parquet, a lot of reflections - so that I can title this photo "Close to gold"...

    0,025 sec handheld (strong hands!)
    ISO 100
    Focal length 48.5 mm.
    ...practically no PhotoShop postprocessings...
    P.S.
    ...oh, yes, sorry...it was Sony DSC F707!
