Good to get this thread going again. Thanks again for the photos you sent me Jay!

Cool. Was it a shopping trip?

Lets call it a recon / drive before you buy trip!

Looking back through the archives I am finding so much stuff I missed.
With the passing of time, I have learned how to better see what I have.
I was so new to this... I didn't really know how to look at it.
Feels like I could start over and tell a whole new story.

Here's JD Byrider in Key West '08...

Naples Image, your shots are great but why so much photo shop water spray? Keep it real, all of your early work rocks...

Simple: I happen to like color, contrast and detail. Especially detail in the roostertail. But, that's just me.

I suppose I could return to an earlier, simpler time- go back to beginner-grade gear and do zero post-processing for that familiar faded, washed-out look.
According to history, roostertails have always been pure white, why change?
