Thanks Frank.

Hi John,

Just to say that I love image #4... Absolutely gorgeous - I adore the composition, colours and the fact that fire looks so real.

Note: Lightroom is a processing program that is quite easy to learn to use.

Don't get me wrong, I am working on it but it is very slow coming.

With that said, here are a couple of before and after shots with my minimalistic approach to processing.

Thanks Christina

I don't have any street lights near me so I used the outside house lights and the headlamps of my sons new toy. I am not happy at all with the background but we just picked this toy up today and was anxious to get a couple shots. I have a couple different locations in mind but that is for another day.

Oh to be young again!!
