After an evening trying and failing to find a safe and suitable place to shred the last of the rear tyres before replacement on this Quadrifoglio, the sky gave us the opportunity to get at least one decent photo.



It's certainly on the extreme side of editing and I'm on the fence if it's too much or not, happy for those with more experience than me to chime in with their opinions!

I like that too, it really works with the ( Stromboli?) Grey of the Giulia, had to look really hard to see if you had turned the lower part of the photo monochrome. A ‘Coloured’ car wouldn’t have worked as well.

Technically not totally in line with the thread title, so I'll remove them if it's an issue.
