I love this Dale. Funny I posted one today of a 56 Ford. How'd you do this? I'm still not to sure what I did to get my results. I love the effects you used. :) #988013

Bonnie C. Lackey level-classic August 28, 2008

This certainly is an attention getter! What a grand poster this would make! #6381395

Chuck Bruton level-deluxe August 28, 2008

Doing a great job Dale
Your PS work is superb
Well done #6381619

Dale Hardin August 28, 2008

Thank you Mary. I loved your Ford and I'd dropped you a line about the Vatican Ceiling. Did you receive that? If you have time drop me an email and we can compare techniques. It's a little long to go into detail here. #6381689

Dale Hardin August 28, 2008

Thanks Bonnie. I'd like to make a poster of this if only I knew what it was. I'm lousy identifying cars. By the way I really liked your "Shades" image in your gallery. I've tried to achieve that look but with little success. #6381699

Dale Hardin August 28, 2008

Thanks a lot Chuck. Your support is really welcome and I appreciate it a lot. #6381705

Jodi Zimmer August 28, 2008

Awesome shot Dale!I love the tones. #6382105

Dale Hardin August 28, 2008

Thank you Jodi. I had so much fun going through your gallery. I love the way you get up close and personal in your shots. You really do cut to the chase and with such vivid colors too.

A real inspiration to those of us that are "macro challenged" Something my friend in Canada is trying to correct, but he has his job cut out for him. #6382325

Awesome capture and effects Dale #6433027

Dale Hardin September 09, 2008

Thanks so much Ann. I see that your Malibu Tile ended up on one of my entry pages. A good combination. #6433130

Mary E. Lake September 09, 2008

Congratulation on your EFP Dale!! I was happy to see I got one on my car too!!! Must be a good month for cars, LOL All the best, Mary :) #6433163

Dale Hardin September 09, 2008

Thanks Mary. I had no doubts about your '56 getting an EP. By the way, I was experimenting last night with some new techniques that show some promise. Works really well on some images and lousy on others. If you want to do some experimenting, email me and I'll tell what I've tried. #6433200

Karen Kessler September 22, 2008

Dale Hardin March 18, 2009

Thank you Janice. I had a time frame when I was almost obsessed with auto images and did quite a few. About time for another car show, if I can find one. It was fun to work on. #7300283

Raymond E. Reiffenberger level-deluxe March 22, 2009

Another awesome photo. Love it! #7314381

Dale Hardin March 22, 2009

Thanks so much Ray. I have a number of favorite photographers and have wanted to place your site on my list but can find no way to do that within BP with the format you use. Is there a link available? #7314770

Dick Jenkins June 29, 2009

Fine work Dale. I recall this arc of a car (Packard) vividly as a kid. You have some interesting effects here in your layering that allow me to concentrate on the features of the car alone and not be distracted by its surroundings. Congratulations on your Finalist award, it is certainly well deserving of it. #7689247

Dale Hardin June 29, 2009

Thanks a lot Dick. This was a fun project. I have been trying to learn techniques with PhotoShop Elements and some of my car shots turned out to be a good training ground.

I like the cars 'cause I can get up close and personal. Don't have the lens power and patience to get those long distance bird and plane shots that you are so expert at. By the way, where were most of the heron shots done? #7689740
