Great shot. Is it my screen or the center area of the picture (around the cabin) is a tad dark?

It's not your screen & it's the first thing I noticed. The halo around the front tires is the second. And I'd like to see more room at the front of it than at the back. Give it some room to move into?

Otherwise, without the HDR, it looks like it could have been a pretty nice shot.

I like the photo other than the dark spot others have mentioned.

Most people's dream cars are Lambo's, BMW's, Mercedes, etc. Mine is a baby blue with white top K-5 Blazer that looks just like my dad's old one.

It has a dramatic look to it, even with the dark area everyone has commented on. IMO it is a good image, a print and hang for me. Nice work Barb.

Very cool shot! I like the HDR it just needs some tweaking to fix those dark spots. I think its the Light Smoothing setting, needs to be set at the highest setting. I *think* that may clear up the dark and halos.

Very cool and dramatic sky on this too. Looks wicked. Well done.

Cool, it looks a bit better. Only other thing I can think of is to also reduce the black level maybe. But it is better.

Thanks internski.....wonder why your buddy had so much trouble keeping his running, this one has the orig. motor in it and it has over 200000 miles on it, but not for long, to complete the restoration, we have a fresh 454 with a Vintage Air front runner to put in it and then she will be done:)
