Reflections on the bonnet

by Arn

This image took quite little post processing. The deep blue, shining hood of the Mercedes reflected the blue sky very clearly. This is a lot like it looked in real life. The images of the Optio S are a little flat to begin with though, so the main post processing thing was to add some contrast. This is an oldish image of mine, but when I took this, I didn't really know how to properly increase contrast in an image like this (sheesh....) So, it's kind of take two. Version 2004, even though I took it last year :)

Pentax Optio S
1/100s f/3.5 at 10.2mm full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

This is spectacular, Arn. Looks like it's floating in air! Helen

Gee, so simple Arn, and so sweet. The pacifier of the rich (don't really know how that came out). A crisp clean sharp image of image in the sky in it's fashion... -todd wms

Wow Arn,

This image kicks ***. I can't get over the fact that the reflection is real!!! You must contact Mercedes and see whether they can publish it.

Well Done

I love this, it's a beautiful image, the reflections of the clouds make it very special.
