I like it very much. Nice job capturing all essentials, and bringing out the colors. That said, I'm no expert, and don't know much about the small "imperfections" that you photography aficionados are able to understand and reveal.

So, good job buddy, and keep at it. (no Gerry, not you )

Thanks dj! Much appreciated! I'm going to try to take some pics like you do. Very good work. Are you involved with any other photography forums? I joined fredmiranda recently. They are a tough crowd man. Everyone is much nicer here!

Conrad, now I have TWO desktop pix from you, running simultaneously. One on my macbook and one on the cinema display I hook up to it when it's at the office.

Nice!

I like the 2nd better -- its subtly more about the car.

Again, keep trying different angles on the car (higher, lower, wider, closer, further, etc.).

Nice pic.

Very cool picture. The lower (second) picture is much better. Feels more like I'm connected with the car looking at the sky. Kind of like holding my wife's hand.

Thumbs up Fantastic

Thats a super picture. Love seeing pictures in that time frame, the sky so changeable and lots of different activities in the background. With what camera did you shoot that vista. Must have been a tripod and open exposure?

@ Pilot2519j: Thank you! I have a Canon 30D and used a Tamron 17-50mm lens. It was definitely on a tripod and exposed for 3 or 4 seconds @ f/4 I believe. It was almost completely dark actually! I was pleasantly surprised at the results.
