I was referring to the one car at the very top. You went ahead and removed both cars. Well, that's even better! --Olaf

Ok Olaf, I've done it. I cropped in tighter (I had tried to do that but was having a hard time getting the legs cropped at a good spot). I like this tighter crop much better now. I also burned in the car some more, but then I didn't like that area so I cloned in some of the shrubbery over the car. Much better. Thanks again for taking the time to offer those suggestions. I knew I was not going far enough. I should have listened to myself when I knew what I should have done before you commented. :) ~ Lonnit

I burned that car in a whole lot, particularly the headlights and the side view mirrors, which were really reflecting. I also removed a silver railing that was running straight thruough his helmet and burned in a few tiny bright, reflective spots in the bushes in the background, I guess after all that the car seemed passably dark by comparison. I considered burning the car more - I guess I should have kept with that first instict. :) Thanks. ~ Lonnit

Interesting image Lonnit! Feel tempted to crop out the car at the top of the frame - would also make the photo better balanced, IMO. --Olaf

Betcha that startled folks. The glasses are a little out of character. It's a very cool image. -Noel
