I've never done one of these before but it turned out to be quite fun! Cropped the photo and fixed up a lot of other things because the roof took away from the focal point, which should be the man with the hay.

Argh! How does one choose? Is there a limit to the number of entries for a single person? I will just do all of them, until i hear. Maybe others can help me cull it down...

Tim this is a gorgeous image! I hope I have time to work on it, leaving today for a week. So happy you gave us the extension.

You will eventually need to choose one and only one.

Here is my output. The original was already very good, a nice illustration of what the 6mp sensors are capable of at 3200 ISO, and above all technical considerations, a wonderful image.
