Believe the sig if you want.. I am as L-coholic as they come. ;)

EOS 5D with 17-40 f/4L where 17mm means REAL crazy ultra wide. And I used all of the 17mm.

Cokin P ND grad 8X filter on the front.. yes I use an 8X because AU sun is so strong.

JPEG, no processing. Believe it or not... just took a little crop off one corner to get rid of a metal pole. Less than 100% VF coverage will do that to you ;)

This challenge is officially closed. I'll post the results later. Thank you to everyone who participated.

[august23]

Ok I just want to thank everyone again for participating. This one was so much tougher to decide. I'm not going to leave comments about all of them, but just know you all captured "the color blue" exceptionally well. I hope to one day take photos are great as all of you. And now, the winners:

1st place - Blue Wave by yodasarmpit
Runner ups - Lobelia Blue by Attic and Blue Gate by azapater
Honorable mention: Kerensky (definitely captured blue "emotion.")



Thanks everyone. Yodasarmpit, it's your turn to make the next challenge topic!

Great call august23, some great shots here.

[yodasarmpit]

Well that was unexpected, so I'd just like to say thanks.

How about "Power" for the next theme.

Copy my original post, and use it as a template. Change out the theme to what you want, the challenge # to #3, and a brief description of what you're looking for in the challenge theme. You set the deadline for a week from your post, and no more entries allowed after that deadline. Then you are the judge, and you decide who will do the next challenge/is the winner. Take a look at the P&S or G series forums for a better understanding of how the speed challenge works. And congratulations again.
