Make the pic all black & white with the exception of your Box and it would be pretty neat.

That would be cool, but I don't know how to do it. I can only make the whole pic B&W.

I twisted the picture around so you don't have to twist your neck around, cause that is what people naturally do with a shot like that.

Besides I'm sure people are twisting their necks all around when you drive by in that nice looking boxster. lol !

later

@ r9i8c7k, Yes, they're TSW Montages.

@Rockbox, Thanks for photoshopping the pics. I don't own photoshop. The picture was taken on a stretch of highway that the city never put through. All drivers are forced to make a left at the split in the guardrail.

Thanks, Bruce.

C'mon you guys. Touch ups are great and everything... but you're missing the obvious stuff that's ruining the shot. Power lines? That weird pole sticking out of the trunk -another one on the top? That white Maxima in the background? A GOLD hood crest?

Details people, details! We're getting there...

Man, you guys are amazing with these computer programs. If I ever get arrested, I'm calling you immediately..."So, you see, your Honor, I could not have committed this crime. As the photos clearly show, I was in Okinawa, playing golf with O.J. at that exact moment. You will also note, your Honor, that I am black & white. How could a black & white person possibly rob a liquor store in full color?"
