OK, fair enough. You really should give it a better title.

I too am very curious as to how this image was achieved, and will withhold vote until further explanation.

How did you take this? It looks like you applied Zoom Radial Blur which is too much PS. So seriously, how did you take this? What did you do?

I see the C, a really wide V and a crooked X. The C (on it's back and cut just above the center) seems to be the only prominent letter in this entry.

There's a lot of noise and damage done to the photo, probably a scanned photo. I suggest Gaussian Blur and healing brush to fix the dust and scratches.

It's on theme but yes, I can tell this was a scanned photo. Use Gaussian blur to reduce a lot of the noise and healing brush to remove the scratches and dust I see. Then bump up the contrast a tad and it would greatly improve your photo.

even without a high res, this image has a lot of noise and seems a little soft.

The reason I often ask for a high res is to really be able to see the quality. The smaller photos can often look a bit soft, but when looking at them in High res I find they are really sharp and full of detail.

go to "my stuff" click on "my contest entries" and then on "edit". You will be able to replace it. GL

I suggest you replace this with something else because only 1 person is allowed in the shot. If you can replace it before the mods remove it, then you can still re-enter. If the Mods remove it, you can't re-enter.

I live north of this island... I can vouch for the author that this definately is one of Key West's "essence". From the conch houses to the Hemmingway's six-toed cats. (Google it). Well done author!!!

Is this what the neighborhoods look like? Lush and old wood (assuming wood looks old from the moisture and salty air)?

I don't have a problem with the photo, which is lovely, I just don't like it when we don't get a High res, so we can get a good look at the photo. What is shown here, is never the best, Photos that look great in High res, often look soft here.

lovely shot, looks quite grainy, which I guess is why you didn't supply a High res.
