thanks. I guess I could have tweaked the white point a bit... but I think being a bit foggy that early a.m. tended to lower the contrast just a bit, and if I made the blacks 0 and the whites 255, it might have been too 'perfect' and lost some of the sense of the foggy morning.But... I'm going to give it a try on my own to see how it looks. thanks for your constructive suggestion. I do appreciate it very much.
Yeah, not all photos work with a full 0-255, but I think you might be able to eek a little more "pop" out of that one. The trick will be to protect the sky, I think. Worth a try, anyway.
One taken right before I left Slovenia:
Formula 1 in poor lighting
Wonderful work with the panning and a great catch of Heikki Kovalainen in his office.
Which track is it? Which session? From where did you shoot? How long did you have?
Monopod, handhold panning? 1/125 ?Somehow, it happens, my most liked McLaren F1 shots indeed have Heikki Kovalainen at the wheel.
I'm not sure what you'd gain with going to some HDR technique... the photo seems to have it's highlights and shadows well exposed already, and there is certainly enough saturation... so maybe I'm just a bit confused about what you mean...
The several comments that my blasé mention of HDR produced have put a smile on my face. I wouldn't HDR any of my photos, it was just a whim that crossed my mind when I composed the post message. I like the ability photography has to convey the feel of "being there" and strive to make my images as true as possible. On the next good day I may revisit this site earlier and see what it looks like without the shadows across the front.
Thank you for all the comments.

Sunset at Quetico
Quetico Provincial park in NW Ontario. Beautiful spot!
I don't have the shot data because this was taken before I appreciated how pertinent that could be. Shot with a Nikon d-80 with my single 18-200mm lens

Beautiful photo, you got the specs of the shot? e.g. model,ISO,aperture,exposure time

Glad you liked it.
It was taken at Silverstone during Final Practice 3. Used the 70-300 4.5-5.6 at was zoomed to about 250mm. Shot from Luffield A seats, handheld; have some more shots here.

Just found out that the tilt-shift series I made of Washington DC earlier in the year is being displayed in 2010 at a major high end hotel chain in DC. This is one of the images that will be there...
Not my favorite, but it's their choice!
Shot with a Canon 5D mkII and a 45mm TS-E F/2.8

You can take as many photos a day as you like. Cull through them AND THEN post the ONE that means the most to you. Easy peasy.
BTW, like this one.
