I think I have you to thank for that extra 1pt Heather!
Otherwise, wouldn't we have had a joint 1st place? :shock:
Good round though.

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

When the voting is over could the person who took this let us know what kind of effects or processing were applied in camera or otherwise.

Absaloutly hilarious how some people thought it was post processed :) I was at a rally stage and went for a pee behind a hill only to find that hidden vintage gem, the picture was photographed in JPEG and no processing was done exept converted to sepia, The only "special effects" in the pic is the shiny texture of the car due to downpour of rain, I see it as compliment that people thought it was edited so thanks ;)

Why?
I'm not questioning anything about the image itself, I'd just like to know why you had your camera set to capture in JPEG mode.

As it was at a Rally perhaps the ability to take more pictures before the buffer was filled.

So, perhaps some people actually liked the image (it did get 12 pts in the voting round). :roll:

Just a simple "no post-processing, just converted the image to sepia" would work just as well as, if not better than, an effort to mock your supposed doubters. ;)

I remember posts complimenting your eye for a good photo, we're not out to get you, honest. :D

Chillax, a wee bit.
