Last Photographer Standing Contest Qualifying Round #16

Welcome to Contest #16, a qualifying round. This round is open to any dgrin member! It will run from Monday, November 12 15st 00:01 (12:01am), NYC time (GMT -5) to Monday, November 26th 00:01 (12:01am), NYC time (GMT -5).

The topic ready for your interpretation: Flash or Ambient.

Shay says:

Here we are, the last cycle. There are five open rounds left to go. Here we start to turn up the heat. Whereas before we have concerned ourselves with themes and content, now we will also start zeroing in on technique and image quality. Rounding out the photographers toolbox.

So combine what you know about choosing the theme for your photo and making the content of the photo move people with beautiful color, brightness, contrast, and sharpness (where apropriate). So forums that may help in this quest that I can think of are:

Technique: http://www.dgrin.com/forumdisplay.php?f=8
The Whipping Post: http://www.dgrin.com/forumdisplay.php?f=30
Finishing School: http://www.dgrin.com/forumdisplay.php?f=10

You may think of others as well. Stop by and look around those forums, ask questions, enjoy :-)

This thread, is the one into which you post your entry. Remember, 1 entry per person, and the photo must be fresh, taken during this contest period. Entries must have exif embedded or appended.
