    Nice shooting - how low to the ground were you for this shot.

    Looks like the car is coming over the crest, no need for crouching if the track falls away like I guess it does beyond this shot.

    Just your normal levels, and added saturation I do on all my shots. I only shoot RAW, and RAW files straight out of the camera are very boring and dull. It was really that dark.

    Also, it was shot wide open at f/2.8 with the 300mm IS lense, hence the shallow DOF.
