I thought it would be fun to advertise for the ETSOOI 19 color/colour challenge I'm hosting this week, since clearly I can't submit! I thought of this last night as I was taking photos from our friends' condo. Helicopters (you can see one to the left of the tallest tower -- that's actually not a grease spot) had been flying around the Loop as part of scenes being filmed for a new Transformers movie, a sci-fi type of film based on the kids' toys. Then, I posted the 'real' version last night and, for today, took a different shot and ETSOOI with colors in mind. This is just for fun and definitely over the top (but no HDR was used in the editing process!). Edited with color efex pro and topaz adjust, plus a little tweaking in aperture. Definitely the ETSOOI mode.
For more information on the challenge, and consider participating (open til the 27th), please go to: http://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/19311/etsooi19-color-colour
