 Well aware this shot, I got at the Toronto Snowmobile Show, is far from perfect and not at all eye-catching – it’s just one of my more successful attempts with dynamic subjects.

In DPP:
- brightness, white balance adjustments
- noise reduction and TIF conversion

In CS2:
- Gradient Map BW
- curves, dodge-burn, levels layers
- flatten, lab sharpen, Gaussian blur layer
- resize, USM, border and save for web

Wonder if after first day of voting, I’ll be regretting my decision to submit this picture instead of some other! :-D

Trevor was always an unassuming type. He was gentle and friendly, and had a good word for everyone. He loved baseball and popcorn and apple pie. He loved racing and football and volunteering at the Retirement Home on Sundays.

Most of all, he loved his ATV. He nick-named it The Mighty Motor Steed. It was his life, and his passion. He raced with it every week, and it helped him win many a prize.

Yet nobody could have ever foreseen what Trevor and The Mighty Motor Steed would accomplish on the day that the very Gates of Hell opened...
