Congrats chromey - you did a very good job editing that pic. I guess there was some motion blur involved to make the background look fast and yet the wheels have a really nice look that can only be achieved with a shutter speed of 250 or something like that.

And thanks for the votes everyone. It's very interesting that I've been called out. I didn't really think there was any obvious style in my pics - in fact I use to think that I'm lacking a certain style...

Thanks zambuca

Yes that's correct, can't remeber the shutter speed but around that I think.

Here's the original

I nearly changed to the yellow bird after loading it in photoshop, needed a lot of work and the YB seems a better model but I did the yellow bird last time and this CTR2 turned out good in the end. Just noticed the repeater light is messed up though.

Your pic is nice to look at, nice picture book look

Wow, I knew this pic was special the moment I recieved it, but I didn't know that much effort went into it! Fantastic job and great win! I would have voted for it if I didn't vote for Raph
