Since we don't have a tonemapped section, I'll add this one here. This is a pic of a vintage bus taken earlier this year at the Canada Day parade. The sky was overcast and the light was quite flat...tough to get detail in highlights and shadows with the original pic. Tonemapping helped to recover some of that. Also did a fair bit of PP.

Still got a lot to learn.....so throw it at me!

Interesting statement - is it possible to post the original...even a good JPG?

BTW - This was a "vintage" bus?

Shots like this benefit quite well from a treatment with Topaz Adjust.

I'm not in Richmond but I'm pretty darn close. Oak and 71st! I can see marine dr. out my window, haha. I use Topaz Adjust quite a bit. Looks like you may have used it here? If not, good job none the less. That bus looks olllld school. :)

Vintage clasification (1964). Thanks Aressem.

I converted to -2, 0 and +2 exposures in DPP and processed in Photomatix....then Topaz Adjust....then Photoshop.

Here's the original

Thanks for the original and info. I can see now the challenge - lights to the top and bottom and massive shadows to the right. I must be getting old but that bus looks so much newer (I did see the plate).
Now that I see the original, I would not have cropped anything - think it looks great as is but rotated to the left a bit.
See your PM for a similar....but less Topaz version.
