    Hi Douglas,
    and welcome to Dgrin-I like your shot-it looks like an old calender shot of classic cars. Very well done.

    As Gus has already commented-the color processing is what makes it imho.

    Thanks for the tip on the plug-in. I'll have to se if it works for Elements 3.0 or Paint Shop Pro.

    Take care,

    Mongrel
    If every keystroke was a shutter press I'd be a pro by now...

    Thank you Mongrel, and I agree the color processing makes this shot, I printed a pic without the processing and it just looked like a nice car, with the plugin it looks like a nice photo. I havent used the plugin much yet, but so far this photo is the only results Ive been very happy with.
