Nice racing shot. It does seem to work well in B&W

By the way, the previous comment was me (if you didn't figure that out.) -Patrick

I have posted a spot color version at my website . I personally like the pure BW version better, but feel free to offer your opinion.

Ser,
No, not just Mazdas for this race, though SCCA is overrun with them (RX-7's and Miatas each have their own class). This particular race also featured a number of BMW's and at least one old Volvo.

Tom,
I'll try that spot color thing out tonight, and see how it goes. Thanks for the idea!

I used to own that car! Wish I still had it. Great catch. I think a spot color (just the flame) might work well on this... bringing your eye to the theme.... although the car itself has a lot of energy!

Being a subject that hardly interests me, I found this a fascinating capture. Great work.

Patrick, it is a great shot, i like better the original with all its colours.
Is was only Mazdas on this race?
