I cropped it down somewhat because i was parked under high tension wires and they came through in some of the pics. Also, i should really take my UV filter off at night as i noticed some serious reflections going on when i got in certain angles...

EDIT: I also adjusted a light a little to take some of the red of the streetlights out, but i dunno if i like it this way... Im trying to find a way to bring up the blue in the headlights without disrupting the rest of the image... I'm gonna try some work with layers.

nice pic, like it a lot!

if ya feel lazy - you can adjust to "tungsten" and it'll give you a "whiter" pic from the street lights.
or you can adjust pic in photoshop too. (if you want that type of color)

Didn't touch the colors on this one at all, just did an ever so slight unsharp mask and cropped/resized.

Nice pics, nice lookin' car!

Edit: Is that the main attraction to the Mazda 3 is the looks? It's supposed to be fun to drive as well right? I saw it got good reviews from Consumer Reports...

 

[tami]

here's ours

it's not as cool of a pic, but it's definitely a nice car.

it accelerates really fast and handles conditions surprisingly well.

i'm no car expert though and don't know how to describe it in technical terms
