It was not mention on the 1st post. I can assume the answer but I rather not.
The mods were discussing this last night and, if you check back on the first post, you'll see it is now covered.

For this one you can dig into your back catalogue so you don't have to go out and try to make new mistakes. However, we do want to hear why you thought the shot was a mistake until you looked at it. I hope people are going to turn out some stunning shots - shots they thought were mistakes until they got to look at them on a larger screen and not just their worst ever shots!

Default B/W assignment: Chipmunk on a bridge

I am very new to photography, maybe 1 month or so. I took this picture with a Nikon Cool Pix 100. I didn't notice the chipmunk until I downloaded the prints. but I think it's kinda cute. I am very open to critique...so please, help me get better!

Original photo taken in color, I adjusted it to BW through Microsoft picture gallery.
