    Why not something really simple like this:

    Thanks thumb.gif. I never thought of apply such a steep crop. Part of my not feeling sure about the crop was what to do with those lights on the bridge. It never dawned on me to crop as much as you did -- when you did that they're no longer an issue. I'll have to play with this some more!! Thanks again!!!!!

    I really hope you were either not driving or going slower than it looks like. Also that you're in one of those crazy countries where you're supposed to drive on the wrong side of the road!

    Very nice shot though.

    First off , you'll be glad to know I didn't take the photo as I was riding the bike - my wife took it from the pillion seat !!

    Taken in England ..the partial grayscale thing was done using Picasa , in my ignorance I did not keep a copy of the original [ stupid me - I have a lot to learn ] .

    Thank you!
    #1: no show ne_nau.gif
    #2: nice 1VP of SF thumb.gif
    $3: good idea with vertical VP clap.gif
    #4: uhm, I don't think this really qualifies, road is too curvy, there is not enough visual guides to create VP effect, IMHO

    Side note: until I checked the EXIF I thought you're shooting FF film on ##2,3.. Strong vingetting, oversaturated colors, noise...mwink.gif

    Thanks for the input - still new to this forum - wasn't aware of the 'fresh' qualifer, although #2 and 3 are fresh, #1 and 4 aren't.

    yeah i'm shooting on a canon 30D - i set the contrast and saturation 2 notches above even for all shots - i like the effect.

    sorry if a dumb question, but is FF film short for "Full Format" film?

    thanks,
    tom

    Yes, "FF" is "full frame", i.e. sensor exactly matching 35mm frame, and "film" is, err, film...mwink.gif

    Very cool! Nice 1VP entry!
    Had the shot been processed and didn't have the wiper (or whatever is that shadowy thingie) on the left, it would simply be a very nice picture, not just an entry mwink.gif
