A group of winners will be selected Saturday June 2nd and submitted for voting. The winner will host the next challenge.

Please tag your photo: 5stepchallenge-3

Here is the photo to edit:

@lstasel how do you get control of the photo to be able to edit it?
May 28th, 2012
@lynnb This is how I do it: right click on photo, choose "save photo as" & save to my computer-then edit & upload it as a daily photo in your project. Hope that helps! :)

@lauriez Thanks Laurie.

Here is mine.

@lynnb If you need a higher quality photo left click on the photo, it will take you to the photo's page. Open one of the higher resolution photos and right click it and save. If you are cropping much a 550 x 365 pixel image is not large enough to work with.

@mikehamm I left the dust sensor in also. I kind of like how the limit of five steps gets you to focus on the best way to get your image across with limited editing.
May 29th, 2012
@brumbe - Yeah, we just have to ignore certain things and that is definitely the challenge.
May 29th, 2012
