Once again, Christie gets all due compliments for the lens flair and the idea for cropping. LOL I think I should put her name up there along with mine! She was gracious enough to recommend the crop, and I acutally cropped it identical to her suggestion, and then she sent me this with the flairs and WOW, and told me to go ahead and use it. So remember, a vote for this is really a vote for Christie, she's awesome eh? :o)

Nice one Shirley. The colour reminds me of the film Fahrenheit 451. The reversing light looks almost 3D. Frank

I like this, Shirley! Composition and colour... but, over all, this little bright point and the lens flare, that breaks the graphic flatness and perfection. endika

This makes a wonderful shot - simple, almost stark, with super visual appeal. Good one.

I will say this only once. Exelent. Would you win again? ;-))

You sure seem to have used an open mind to create (develop?) a stunning picture. What a collaboration! You seem to be really coming from a deeper place since your surgery - your shots are consistently a lot better. Congratualtions!

LOL Christie, it only took a genius to see what a little crop and some great lens flair will do huh? Thanks a million! That would be a million pixels as that is all i have a million of around here. :o) Christie also helped me with the crop suggestion and the flairs. Looks pretty dang good now!

Very nice colours and highlights. If that car was in Europe or South Africa it would be called a Celsius.

Guest		15-Apr-2007 22:12
Wow, a wonderful improvement, if I say so myself! ;)

Excellent composition now, Shirley. Great graphic appeal, and the highlights are just marvellous. Super shot ! Marc

(LOL) I was going to suggest it anyway SHirley! Though I was seeing it as square. This is much nicer to my eye and has much more impact. Nice one. Charlie

Oh man I am so sorry Christie! I need some sleep LOL I read your name "charlie" what a dummy! Well, Hope you forgive me and I sent ya a return e-mail too!

Charlie was right on about that crop so I've posted the newly cropped one. Thanks Charlie!

Shirley Haden		15-Apr-2007 05:14
Hummm, I will give that a try tomorrow, see how it comes out. :o)

I love the colors on this one Shirley. I think it would become a bolder and more graphic image if you cropped out the second light (right at the seam) to the right and presented it in a portrait layout.

Great colours Shirley... and much cleaner than my car! Alistair
