I've decided to enter my first JPG Magazine Submission in the "Surroundings" category. I'd be honored if you'd take the time to go vote for it.

First the image: You might remember seeing a similar image from me in the past. In fact, that image is one of my most popular on Flickr. I had to edit it again in order to submit it to JPG Magazine because of their photo requirements. They don't allow extensive editing and that particular photo was a blending of three images taken at different exposure levels with heavy use of masking in Photoshop. The version you see above uses only levels and curves adjustment, some color balance correction, and a bit of sharpening and everything you see comes from the same source image instead of taking parts from three different places.

Finally, JPG Magazine: I've know about it for several years and I'm still not sure if I think it's a good thing or a blah thing but I've decided that it's not an evil thing, and, therefore, worth trying. So this is my first submission. Accepted works get a 1yr subscription to the magazine and $100. In this category, select images will get win a $600 5MP camera phone. It's not a whole lot but, then again, submitting isn't really about making money.

So, once again, if you're so inclined, I'd really appreciate a quick visit and your vote for unused railway at JPG Magazine.

Thanks.
