Not if he disables the password requirement to access the pic. He has to do it on his account at the Canon photography forum at POTN (photography-on-the.net/forum/etc.etc.) Or give someone the password to access his account there, which I don't see happening...
Or, I guess we could sign up for an account ourselves and have access to the image... I'm not totally sure what all would be required. Some forums require you to be a member to download other folks work so it can be tracked or something like that.
AHHH! Really! I had no idea the link just wouldn't work without being logged-in to POTN (same site software as MR). That's excellent information to have. Okay. I'll try plan ... C - low res it out of LR to get under that photo size requirement and attach here. Thanks gents and my apologies for the mystery. Photo now attached - click for much larger version to come up.

Okay, I am seeing the attachment. Beautiful picture. I really like the backlighting. Cheers!
I know it's too late, and that's OK since I hosted the last one. But here's my submission, took it last night and only got around to editing it about an hour ago. I wanted to show the contrast between old and new in the Downtown Salt Lake City area. There are tons of buildings from the early part of the 20th century, some even older than that, then there's the ultra modern buildings that are springing up everywhere. This is a shot of an old clock that's downtown, and the rubble that remains of an old mall that's being ripped out for a new outdoor mega-shopping center/residential area that's going up right in the heart of the city. It's called the City-creek center and it will be beautiful when it's done!
edit: noticed the watermark says 2007. I haven't gotten around to changing the default one in Lightroom yet!

WOW, what a week, and now the photo thread is finally over (for now )!
Let me say that if you all thought shooting a photo for this contest was hard, choosing the winner was even harder. We've seen some very excellent photos this week, and it's unfortunate that I have to choose only one as the winner!
Let me assure you that it's been a very tight competition, as all the entries were particularly astounding. One, however, has caught my eye a bit more then the others..
A great photo, Pdxflint. I think one of the most endearing aspects about this photo is how it not only captures the contrast between the rugged, barren clear-cut and the distant, verdant forest, but how it frames the contrast between the ideas of clear-cutting and forest preservation all in one go.
From the though-provoking stump in the foreground to the swooping line of trees far beyond, this photo is well composed and feels like quite a "whole".
Good work everyone, this week's contest has been a large success and I'm sure that we've all enjoyed seeing these great photos!
Pdxflint, great job, and I look forwards to seeing what topic you choose for next week's contest!

Use of photograph?
Dear Shacklebolt,
I found this image through a Google search. I'd really like to your permission to use this photo in a blog post I'm writing about the blurring of lines between civilian and military spheres in Israel. It's the best photo I've found to illustrate the content of my post.
Please contact me at rachel (dot) bergstein (at) gmail (dot) com.
Thank you!

Wow, I can't believe that old clock is still there. It's one of the many things I remember from my childhood growing up in SLC... Can't wait to see what they will do with the downtown area...
