[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A final Harley shot, this time the saturation is quite subtle (ok hard to detect!) and is not the blue of the sky's reflection that is picked out on previous posts, but is a green reflected in the chrome, maybe from the car parked next to it or shop front (I can't remember).

The Harley was on the main street in Newport and was looking very shiny. Links to other shots below.

I like the Colgate toothpaste freshness on the wheel ;-)

Hello, Lisa.

Yes, the desaturation in indeed very subtle - just a hint of green as you say - but there's also a little hint of blue (probably from the sky) on the chrome atop the tank. Very nice indeed.

Like you, I love that sparkle off the front wheel rim. Colgate, you say: it was Pepsodent in my day and probably will soon be Steradent.

The thing that really gets me with this picture is the absolutely incredible sharpness - it's wonderful. I see you use Idimager - is it good? or, even more important, is it free?

Best Wishes,

John.

I love it, I think is great and better than others two. The light and reflections are stunning and your desaturation idea allowing
apreciate only that thin color reflected is brilliant. Congrats. and TFS
But you must remember one of the Friday Themes rules: Only One image per member.

Hello Lisa

TFS and for joining in the theme

Hi Lisa

Great shot, your desat work is hard to see, so makes you look closer at the whole phot to find it.

Well done
