    Car in window stops at windsheild pillar on black car, black car is definately reversed pic, Mav emblem is backwards, wipers face wrong direction. Could be patches, I haven't seen it since last summer, Frank could have a solid black side by now.....

    Pretty sure that is a picture that Seth took at the MCCI 15th Annual Roundup Nationals in Washington D.C. It has definitely been photoshopped.....left a little of the "green" around the door handles.

    Here is the building that is in the background:

    I remember Seth taking several pictures using the hotel building as a background.

    Here is Dave Boyer's car in almost the same spot:

    Now go back and look at the picture. The car you see the reflection of in the window....it is Dave Boyer's car. Mystery solved. (y)

    That's funny!
    I didn't even notice.
    I was looking at the colors and noticing they had been smoothed and tweaked a little.
    The reverse pic stuck out like a sore thumb, and I didn't see it.

    Sounds like me, i usually figure out all of the tiny little imperfections but miss the obvious. It reminds me of the copy of the copy of "franks background" in his gallery.....
    not the highest quality but it is a copy of a copy the original probably looks alot better

    There are definitely higher quality versions of that picture. I know, because I've done about 5 hours worth of photochopping on that picture, and named it frankbackground.

    Yup, and my car was sitting just behind yours, so the reflection is mine. :) and Seth took the picture.

    well the first couple of changes between the two I can see is

    the color on the car obviously, the mirror, the crop, the removal of the back of the building (if you look you can still see one of the stickers from the glass door right above the roof of his car). The color of the pic in total(dont know if that one counts or not), took the water spot on the ground off of the pic.....

    there is probably more but I gotta get back to work I don't think they want to just pay me to sit here and look at pictures of franks car for too long :rofl2:

    the cropped photo has PATCHES sideways in a spot that is obviously reserved for a large tank.
    The original is a spot more reserved for a normal car.
