I can see old man Al driving a caddy in a few years when he retires down to Fort Lauderdale.

Plenty of room for coat hanger mods.

So much effort and craftsmanship went into the making of that hideous interior. What irony.

Great pic, though, Gary. Got one of the whole car?

Matt, that looks like around here lately.

Nice colors on that one, Dave. Taken from the comfort of your M3 blind? Or were you out freezing your butt off in a real blind? From the low angle I'd guess the latter.

Nice shot, Reed. Converted or shot in B&W?

thanks, It's actually in colour. I shot it at about 11 at night during the snow storm we were having with just some outside lights back lighting, so colours were strange enough as it was.

I just desaturated red and blue a little bit.

when I compare it to a black and white version, it actually looks more black and white then the B&W version ironically. So I ended up sticking with the colour version as it looked better.

Nice shot, Dave. I really like the low perspective.

Thanks Matt. Yes, that was from sitting in the car-blind combined with the effect of 700mm and a 1.6x crop factor and him being on a little one-foot snow pile.

BTW, congrats one winning the latest contest. Yours was one of my three votes and I would have voted for you if I'd only had one, though the competition was nice and close.

Car-blind, but I almost froze my hands off a few minutes later, chasing bald eagles with no gloves in 18-degree weather.

I love the seat warmers. I run the heat and seat warmers, but keep the windows down so that I can shoot quick while keeping the cameras cool. I've usually got on full winter weather gear so that I jump out of the car if need be.

The pheasant have been treating me really, really good the last few days:
