 I was out taking some photos for the other challenges on a dark and rainy Boxing Day in Melbourne as we waited for Shane Warne to get his 700th wicket (only Aussies would know what I am talking about).

I saw my car sitting there looking really nice under the bridge...thought, why not Shrek? This is one of about 10, and my favourite from the selection.

How will I go...If I get 6 I will be happy ... ish.

Saturation, USM, dodge and Burn, Noise Ninja, resize, a bit more touching up, border and save for web.

POST: not haveing a good run lately. While I agree with the sharpening probs in the bridge, I thought it was a good car mag type image that worked well...anyhow... (trudges off sighing)

Well, you won the blinking cricket. What more do you want ;-) It's at times like these that I am proud to be born in Tasmania - even though I spent more of my life in England...

Beautiful Enzo! You could probably sell this to the car maker for their promotional brochure!

nice color, love the car's color and the reflections on it. I'd like it even better if the pic didn't seems to 'list' clockwise. Maybe if you rotated it a bit so the bridge columns were a bit more upright.

Nice and sharp on the car. The bridge rising out of the car's rear doesn't really work for me, though. 5

Now that's a nifty car. Atleast from this view it is. I love the fisheye distortion effect. My only nitpick is that it seems just a tad over sharpend to me.

Love the way the front of the car jumps out at me. Vivid impact. 7

Got a lot of pop for sure, but the PP is way too harsh IMO. The haloing around the distant buildings and the road overhead just really shrieks at me :-(

Hard processing halo's on the bridge & buildings.

I like the distorted perspective. Would be a cool showroom poster.
