Wow. Lydia. I love this series. Now, if they could create a paint that is as stunning as you did with the Topaz, we'd see the most beautiful cars on the road in the world! I think you are on to something great!!!-Laura :D #10251987

Thank you dear, Laura...these cars were all lit by Neon signs, but this one had green bushes behind it...Topaz gave it that buzzzzz...This was one of my favorite series..so far! :) #10252006Laura E. Swan July 30, 2012
I see! I don't usually call an image eye candy but this one really is, Lydia!!! I hope it goes Gold soon!!! If not keep entering it each month until it does! Seriously!!! :DI wonder if the colors would come out true if you made a nice big print of it for your wall at home??? #10252187

Hi Laura, Yes, I need to have a big one done up....for my computer room...My home is filled with oil painting of my Mom's...who won many awards with them...I do have a few blank spots in this room...Did you see me in the bottom left corner?? and then some strange guy in the bottom middle...Wm. found me there, I missed it earlier...I will enter and enter! & see what happens..Didn't get any this month, so next month may be good! #10252516Stan Kwasniowski July 31, 2012

Hi Stan and Laura, It made my head turn..so beautiful...and happy I caught myself too... #10257553Jeffrey M. Smith August 01, 2012
This one is AMAZING! The colors, reflections, shine and sheen, its hard to imagine they are straight out of the camera! You must have all the camera settings set perfectly! You absolutely NAILED it!Lydia Williams August 01, 2012
Thanks, Jeff!! This one was tweaked with Topaz 5...It was out of my new Nikon P510 camera and does not do raw...it has a 41x lens...and not heavy to carry...I love it. #10258588Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
