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...

I do personally like this one, and I'm with Jeph, putting the color back into the hood crest would look great I think

Well, I originally posted the picture just as a goof. After all the work you guys did, however, I really began to like it. I decided to adopt Jeph's version as my signature pic. While it's cleaned up considerably, I like the highway in the background, as if I'd stopped in live traffic to take a photo.

Jeph and I will need to work out his royalties, I would imagine.

You have to love that!

Nice job!

I can't take all the credit. How excellent it is to see our team effort in your signature! Best looking '97 ever!

Of course, you are right. Thanks everybody!

Now, what programs did you guys use?

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?"

Why was the picture taken at such an extreme angle? It's really distracting. Other than that, the latest edit by Jeph looks nice.

I've seen a bunch of photos that DJ has taken where the car is not square in the frame and they always look great. I guess I tilted the camera way too much.

I have no idea how to take pictures .
