photoshopped

Please be gentle, it's my first adjustment layer.
Did I get the blending good enough?

I remember as a child going to Daytona and watching Richard win the Pepsi 500. He dominated the race in a car exactly like this. As far as I can remember you have nailed the colors perfectly....

So you can't see where I put a masked levels adjustment on Richard inside the car ?
Looks like I got away with it this time then

The original is over in the photoshop thread in Viewfinder.

No I can't. You must have done something right. I also went to Richards last race in Atlanta.I have some really great photos of some of the races I used to go to, but they are in the evil hands of my ex. I wonder if they even have survived her wrath. I use to buy pit passes and have pictures and negatives that go back to 1985. I think my Dad has pictures of the Pepsi 500 we went to, seems like it was around 1974 or so. Richard raced in car like this.

Wow, intense. The color really leaps out at me. Not sure it totally fits the subject and composition, but it does make an impression.

Well the colours are straight out of the camera.
But if you have other suggestions for the colour and/or composition go right ahead and crop or edit to your heart's content.
I'm here to learn.
