Thanks Lydia and Sharon, It's my Wife's car, I'm more of a Truck guy, so the only time I'm allowed near it is when I wash it.
This picture is sort of a first for me - It's my first Challenge submission where the image is straight out of the camera the only processing was converting the raw to jpg no coping, toning, sharpening or anything. While this may sound lame to most of you, it was quite a liberating experience for me - I guess as photographers, we should always be striving to capture the image with the camera and not the computer but I have always been the computer geek that likes to tweek. So this image gives me an extra bit satisfaction compared to most of my past entries.
