    I'm gonna play with some of the settings. I know what you are saying and maybe I can tone down the contrast a bit.

    I do appreciate all the feedback. Just playing with this program today on a rainy day. :)

    Lol. My son loves internet memes so I did that cheesy "business cat" painting for his office. His boss hates it.

    Sweet!! I might save it, and take it to Costco for them to print it on a poster, it's pretty cheap.

    Oh ......... :rofl2:

    Yes, mine in the 1st post is a bit flat. I'm gonna play with the details a bit more, including more texture. Then like Dave said, take it in and get a print made.

    It has a Grabber hood ...... a 1970 Grabber hood ............ :thumbs2:

    I agree, all the small bumper cars look great with a 71-72 hood. But if you ever get a chance to see this car in person you would know why it can't be changed to the 71-72 hood. This car is one of the finest examples of a completely original Maverick you will ever see. It could be in a museum like The Henry Ford someday .......... :)

    Here is a different angle. I tried to pull out some of the reflections but the way the lighting was this morning, it doesn't clean up very well. I like the color contrast and saturation in this one.

    BTW - if anyone wants me to convert one of their pictures, go ahead a post it here. I will do it when I have a spare minute or two ....... :tiphat:
