Nice shot Armando please don't remove it as it's exactly what I was looking for, but this challenge is limited to Powershot compact cameras only and the 5D doesn't qualify.

My opinion is dump rule #6.

Went for a walk this afternoon, almost 50' and sunny. I live in the The City of New Baltimore Michigan, it was incorporated as a village in 1867 and as a City in 1931. The foot of the main drag (Washington) ends in a park on Anchor Bay, Lake St. Clair. This image is from the park of one of the waterfront streets. Canon S100 f4, ISO 100, 1/1250 sec.
