Not really, just one from the archives that I Topazed and converted to BW tonight.....  Note that my subject does not stand out from the background as does Easy's Dodge Charger. Darnit. |

Awesome job, Greg..great work on the metal and I like the angle at which you shot it. It may not stand apart from the background, but the background doesn't intrude at all either. It suits the type of vehicle (off road)..k for this!

I like it !! I don't feel a real strong processing treatment ( Topaz)... I think this looks pretty darn natural..
The first thing I do notice is the lighting, it almost looks like Flash was used.. very nice detail in this..

Why thank you Patrish, Tom.
Not much gets by you, does it Mr. NEM? I checked my EXIF and indeed used an external speedlight for fill. You keen powers of observation never cease to amaze me.
I wanted to push this more (Topaz push, I mean) for the effect that I think Easy is looking for, but it just didn't work. As we've discussed here before, foliage doesn't do well processed heavily, and there is lots of it in my background. That and for some reason the subject didn't seem to want to be pushed further.
Thanks for looking and commenting my friends.
