OK, this should be a challenge...
I was trying to take a long exposure image of the spillway at Post Falls, Idaho. My variable ND filter accidentally got set into that weird, blobby setting just past max attenuation. It was bright out, and I was having a hard time steadying myself on a handrail. I couldn't tell how weird the ND filter was on the rear display -- I could barely see the display at all! Found out what happened after I got home.
So it's a little crooked and variably exposed. I think there might be a good image in there somewhere, but it may take some hard work and luck to tease it out.
The RAW and JPG files are here.
This Challenge will close in about three days, at the end of the day Friday, June 21st.
