Good shot, but a bit less contrast in the blacks would work better for me. The tires are merging into the shadows.

Love those C series...they were around for a long time...produced from '58 to 80's ?

The 428 FE engine was a wonderful engine. My FIL had a 345 hp/428 in his '66 Meteor (Canadian version of the large Mercury in that year)...very torquey engine.

Like the pix, the exhaust stack, chrome, paint and accessories.

Hey Frank.....not sure why it is happening to the image on POTN.....it looks fine on Zenfolio.....no contrast shift and you can read the info on the tires.

Dunno? Maybe it's just my (old) monitor. Maybe it's on a black background in ZF? Maybe you're looking at ZF with a non-color managed browser?
The only way I know to be sure would be to check the black levels in an app like PS.

I'm using FF....color managed. It may just be white vs. black backgrounds.

Seen this? The gray bar at the center is the same density all the way across.

Yep....that is an excellent example. I work on black screens all the time....so all edits are designed to be viewed that way. I typically link all my images to a black background for optimal viewing.
