Sorry Guys...I been having Computr issues and belive I'm sorted out.....

Thanks to those of you that participated. It was a wide open possibility.

Loved all the entries but 2 stand out.

nrowensby... Wifes Eyes is a nice capture and some sweet photo editing. I can see the layering you did. However the only reason I did not call it #1 was due to some of the obvious errors in layering. I dont need to tell you where it went wrong. I'm sure you already know.

So this time....

John_B got it.

Loved the filter used and the fact that all the grains are so well focused.


Well done all.

FWIW: There were no layering issues; mainly because there is no layering, haha... That was a single shot, SOOC besides a resize and slight bumps in saturation, sharpness & contrast. ;)

Here's the RAW/CR2: http://dl.dropbox.com/​u/17500886/_C4N8846.CR​2 (external link)

Regardless; Way to go John, GREAT SHOT, Very well executed!! :D
