Winner // March 2009 // speednut

This month's winner for the topic "natural light" was speednut.

If I have my count right, this is at least win number 6 for speednut. Nicely done.

Excellent job speednut! Your submission was by far my favorite, except for mine of course!

March was a tough topic for me... whenever I had free time I had overcast sky to work with. Bring on April!

Looks like you chopped out some of the sky colors to obscure the rear tag...nice attention to detail.

Congrats!

Thanks everyone, I appreciate it!
I've added a higher-res version of this photo on my flickr page.

Actually, it's just a CA Yosemite plate, that's why it has the sky on it. I used the "underpainting" filter to slightly obscure the plate. Pretty quick and simple edit. It's even more fun to use a license plate font and create your own custom plate.

Regarding the chopping though, two light poles and one power line tower wound up getting sacrificed.
