I'm new to posting here, just wanted to see how it is done. I hope to post more, and learn alot from the experienced photogs that I have been watching and reading about, as I have been lurking, since I got my SM site going last February.

    Welcome to the forum! And a very nice first post! I love the lines in the composition.

    I do believe it has a slight yellow color cast to it. That could be corrected pretty easily.

    Thanks for the reply and the CC. Shot was in the Henry Ford Museum, very low light, and very mixed light. But I do see the color cast too. I will have to try a fix. What would you do first?


    Thanks!

    Very nice composition, I think moving the frame slightly to the right to include all of the chrome tail light trim would have made it even better.

    As for cleaning up the yellow cast, use a blue photo filter in Photoshop. Experiment with varying degrees of intensity until you find a level that will clean up the yellow without giving the tail lights a purple cast.

    Hope to see more of your work here.

    Thanks Steve, I will try that suggestion. I think posting more images will really help me, learn more faster!
