THIRD PLACE GROUP A - SCORE 89.5
JUDGES: Ed Robinson 86 | Manolo Deroste 93
As I was shooting these power poles at dusk, along came a low flying C-141 Air Force transport. I was able to catch the airplane right between the uprights. The plane is tiny, but if you look closely you can see it. It is the speck above the setting sun. Post processing was done in LrC. This was shot at f-8, 1/250, ISO 400.

GROUP A - SCORE 83.55
JUDGES: Ed Robinson 83 | Manolo Deroste 84
I mounted the bench on 2 work horses and placed them under the shade of a tree and I pointed the camera towards the very bright and sunny street.
Exposed to the shaded back of the bench thus washing out all the background. Then I increased the whites and decreased the blacks to attain maximum contrast.
