I have never participated in a challenge before. I hope this image qualifies. Oh and of course, please comment! My apologies if this photo is too large.
The colors on this immediately made me think "Sigma-lens". I clicked on the thumbnail to see if I was right - and right I was! But in the comments I see you warmed this up by shooting at a higher WB. I think I would have gone in the opposite direction - to compensate for the "Sigma Stigma" (too yellow). Just my opinion - others seem to like it that way... --Olaf.dk
This is a hill lining the Los Vaqueros Reservoir in Northern California. I used high contrast, enhanced the blue and warmed to about 6200K. I used some sharpening to bring out the cattle paths making horizontal lines in the grass.
Beautiful colors in this, where was it taken? --Melanie (mlynn)

Yes, "Hard-to-Find" if not non-existent. This image would work really well as a large print, a couple mega pixel web image doesn't convey the tree or the cattle. Yes it was careless of me not to correct the vignetting. Hopefully my next entry has a more forward subject. Thanks for the comment.

Yes, this definitely uses negative space well but the unfortunate part is that the subject is "hard-to-find"! Also, is the vignetting on purpose? Beautiful colors though!
