[Jason@MS]

cheers for the comments!

black and white really doesnt suit it.
ive actually played around with it quite alot, workflow something along the lines of;

-Correct the RAW
- some dodging and burning in PS,with a general clean up
-level and curves
-gradient map B&W conversion
-brushing through some of the reflections on the tarmac
-noise added
-cross processed curves
-sharpened

i think i achieved what i set out to
:)

It'd look poo in B&W.

Ace as it is, nicely done. :D

I like it too, but the centre of the roof of the car is just a little to burnt out for me, you tend to always look back at it when there is so much more to see with in the rest of the image

[dragulaz]

I agree with the burned out reflection. I think it would add to the image if it weren't quite so overwhelming. As for the rest of the image, I love it. Love the pp as well.

i like it. i think black and white would ruin the "concrete" color. awesome car too, what is that?

[MaDProFF]

I think it is an old Ford Escort Mk1 with some added wheel arches

[manipula]

Yeah it's a full-fat nutter spec MkI Escort. If memory serves me well, it runs in various period series on tracks all over the UK, and occasionally Spa. Quite a highly developed thing, the engine in it is nuts too IIRC.

hip hip hooray for old european fords :D

[cryton]

I love old Escorts a bit different with bubble arches.It is a different image and I like it too.

[Jason@MS]

glad you enjoyed it guys.
when ive got half a sec im going to open it back up and go to work on the reflections, unforntunately though thats where the really bright sunset was pointing, but should be able to bring it down on the curve abit...

il post revised edit and original when ive re-worked it guys!

cheers for the feedback:D

a kinda back in the day slide look
IMO, you succeeded - the only thing missing is Jim Clark at the wheel.

It looks good and could also be good with a good tritone. This kinda looks like it was printed from some very old underexposed fuji velva.

The glair on the roof is a little over done looking to me and around the white line on the road seems a little light as well. besides that well done.
