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. :) #988013Bonnie C. Lackey August 28, 2008
This certainly is an attention getter! What a grand poster this would make! #6381395Chuck Bruton August 28, 2008
Doing a great job DaleDale 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. #6381689Dale 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. #6381699Dale Hardin August 28, 2008
Thanks a lot Chuck. Your support is really welcome and I appreciate it a lot. #6381705Jodi Zimmer August 28, 2008
Awesome shot Dale!I love the tones. #6382105Dale 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 #6433027Dale 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. #6433130Mary 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 :) #6433163Dale 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. #6433200Karen Kessler September 22, 2008
Hey BP Buddy! I got an email that one of my photos made it to "Finalist" status & I checked out the others. I saw this one! Congratulations, Dale! I love your old cars! :) #6489353Lisa J. Boulden September 22, 2008

Thank you Dianna. And thank you for a wonderful time perusing your fine gallery. Wonderful imagery. #7229882Janice Mezzacappa March 18, 2009
Wow, wow, and wow, this is remarkable HIGE congrats Dale!! Fave!! #7299347Dale 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. #7300283Raymond E. Reiffenberger March 22, 2009
Another awesome photo. Love it! #7314381Dale 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? #7314770Dick 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. #7689247Dale 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
