I took part in a photo scavenger hunt this summer along with 499 other participants. The photos are in the last stage of reveals and there are some great ones here. The creativity is excellent! Figured you guys might want to check them out. If you head on over to my Google+ page, you should be able to see the shared albums.

The topic subjects were:
PICNIC
BAD HAIR DAY
POPSICLE
STAR(S)
TURQUOISE
BUTTERFLY
WATERMELON
SUNBURN
SPRINKLER
CAMPFIRE

Sometimes you just have to get up reallllllllly early.

I've been meaning to hit this spot again while the light is good and city hasn't woken up yet.
Please ignore the bad post-processing. I was still shooting JPEG and editing with Paint Shop Pro, and I had no idea what a layer was yet.

that's a nice looking shot Luna! The red contrasts well against the background and the composition is great

No need to apologize for the shot. It's nice and clear. A good photo doesn't need much post processing.

Well I think the background colors match the car and the low sun added some interest ..

Thanks everyone
I think my tastes have changed quite a bit since I took that shot. I do love the composition and angle. I was laying on my stomach for the shot.
On the other hand, I know I really amped up the colour, contrast, and sharpness to the point of being unrealistic. I probably could have stood to open it a bit more to soften the background, but being that I was probably shooting on "the green square", that's what the camera gave me.
It's noisy as all hell, and we won't even talk about the piece of crap, non-focusing Tamron lens I had on the front of my 10D
