This was kind of a spur of the moment shot while I was testing out the 4X4 capabilities of a suzuki samurai I bought the day before. It's a fun little toy. As for the shot itself, it was all pretty simple. Taken with my A550, pointed and shot in auto mode. Then took it to photoshop cs2 and did some levels on all channels, then curves on all channels, channel mixer technique I like, a selective color layer for each color I manipulated (the samurai was a different color to begin with), a little unsharp mask, a little neat image, a pinch of salt, and a whole lot of vinegar.

The human or the dog? Anyway - this would have been way more appealing if the focus was on the human's face. As it stands the wheel and the headlight is clear, but that's just not something I care to see. The blown out sky is disappointing too.

I really like the composition, but exposure is not so well managed.The face is overexposed and the sky in the background is blown up too

It's a cool shot, and would've been great even without the dog and the girl.

Interesting composition, I think the dog takes away from the picture though, I don't know if I'm supposed to look at it or the driver.
