You guys are good (except for the last one!)

The size I intend to blow it up to is about 30cm x 40cm to go in a frame in the reception area of Afon House - it is a chiropractic clinic so the wheelchair is quite inspired laugh

Hopefully MIss Notax will be along shortly to give you a link/jpeg thingy smile

You're going to need a larger image than that to blow up to 30x40, do you not have the original file?

His original post to the photo actually had a larger version. If you download this http://thumbsnap.com/f/3zDFG4l4 then it comes in at 3396px x 2264px which should be workable for a decent size print.

Agree. I did my serious one on the full size image. It was done in 10 mins but is this what the OP was after?

For such a good photo why stop at a small frame in the reception area?

Yes, really pleased with that one thank you smile Daft question, but how do I get that image in a form where I can get it printed by someone? Could you e-mail it to me or can I get it some other way? Sorry to be a numpty!

That is very good! Keen to email a copy of that to Afon House if possible smile Sadly I don't think the council would approve of the full size version - they even asked her to reduce the size of her logo on the end wall! Well done for finding where Afon House are based...

You are right - although I'm one of her patients laugh I used to spend so much with her that she decided to sponsor me smile If anyone needs a chiropractor I strongly recommend Afon House in Salisbury (shameless plug) they are very good and have always put me back together again after my various injuries.

Someone in a much earlier thread suggested changing background colours to improve the photo - I know this is done in magazine photos a lot with false sunsets etc would it work on this photo? Another challenge if you are interested!

Right click on the image and click "save image as" (if you use Firefox - Internet Explorer should be something similar).

Very good clap

A lot of effort has gone into that - I like the subtle Red Bull logos (although the sponsors won't!)Little cones also good smile

Interesting to see how much you've changed the colour. Caused me to look more closely at all the previous photos on page 2 and there are quite a few differenecs...

JS911 - sky dranmatic (good thing) but car dull

Pernod - car really nice and bright (similar to its real colour) but sky less dramatic

DAVIDOS - both car and sky look a bit washed out, which also effects the best serious photo from Xrrr.

Is there any chance the car could be brightened as in Pernod's photo, with sky dramatic as in JS911 based on Xrrr's last photo? I know I ask a lot smile

Any more on the sky introduced too much noise.

ETA: Updated to add some sharpening and other small tweaks. The lightening up of things has added some noise at 100% but when it is printed it ought to look ok.

Whoops, I might be too late as only just got access to my webserver (emailed you but never heard back)

Here's a full size proper edit in case it's of use.

Excellent, thanks smile Sorry I didn't receive your PM, I think I mentione din an earlier post no PMs were getting through to me. I guess they are being held by my firm's spam filter?
