Ajay I like your photo as opposed to phot-shopped efforts tbh, that's an E30 under construction right there!

Good photo 8)
How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

I've been all over the place working on my car today, bit of trial fitting my new wheels, some welding and grinding on the sills, finding more rust in the engine bay and having enough of it all

---EDIT---
Tone mapped image changed to the above

Would I be able to change my picture? It's the same thing less my attempt at HDR photography.

Same as. The sky was way over exposed though which was why I got carried away :) Little bit of additional messing in PS but it looks much better this way.

I prefer normal photo's to be honest rather than the over-worked photo shopped efforts...

Mere mortals such as myself don't use photo shop so "doctoring" your photo to perfection is a little bit unworthy of winning IMO

Not that all photo shop entries come under this as some are really really really good but if you can edit out the little imperfections your photo will stand better ground. This is why I won't win LOL

Mike has called me to close this compo. If you have two photos (you shouldn't but if you do) I'll pick one that I like.

Good work all...let's get the votes going!!
