I miss my 03 CL-S :(
So I'm not too sure about the tone curves I used for this... highlights a little too bright?

I don't think so, it looks nicely balanced to me. might try a slightly wider shot with corrected verticals, that would be my only suggestion. I like the subject matter and the monotone processing.

Probably the most unattractive gay cowboys of the Capital Pride parades I've attended... But I like how the shot came out.

the link srika posted a while back or in the random thread sort of explains whats going on.

mainly.
Subject and Background in flash photography.
The typical flash photograph is assumed to have two basic regions. The foreground or subject is the area around the autofocus metering point - perhaps a person. Background ambient lighting is just everywhere else.
This is an important distinction because all portable flash units have a limited range. As noted in the FAQ section, you can’t expect a small flash unit on your camera to illuminate the Eiffel Tower or the Grand Canyon or even a large space such as a ballroom. The camera, therefore, handles the subject and background metering differently and independently.

Slow shutter sync.
There are two basic ways in which a camera can take a flash photo when light levels are low. The camera can either use a short shutter speed to minimize camera motion blur and have the flash blast out enough light to illuminate the foreground objects whilst leaving the background dark, or the camera can extend the shutter time to allow more of the background to show up and flash-illuminate the foreground subject. This latter technique is called slow sync, slow shutter sync or “dragging” the shutter.
It’s only possible in Tv, Av and M modes - you can’t use it in P mode or most of the PIC (icon) modes. The one exception is the night scene PIC mode on many EOS cameras, which uses slow shutter exposure with first-curtain flash.
A typical example is a tourist snapshot of someone standing in front of a famous landmark at night. If you keep the shutter speed fast then you’ll have a nice flash-illuminated photo of your friend against a pitch black backdrop, unless the landmark is extremely brightly lit or unless you’re using very fast film or a high digital ISO. However, by slowing down the shutter speed you can take a photo of the person standing against a properly exposed background.
The drawback is obvious, of course. By slowing the shutter speed you’re going to need a tripod to avoid blur induced by camera movement, especially with long shutter speeds like 1/15 second or slower.
Sometimes slow shutter sync is used to provide a dynamic motion effect in flash photos. A photo taken with flash and a slow shutter speed can provide an interesting mix of flash-illuminated subject and ambient-light-illuminated motion blur. The effect is difficult to predict, but can be very striking and exciting when it works.
Take my photo of fire performers for example - the flash freezes the motion of the performers but the slow shutter captures the swirling motion of their fire chains. Have a look at the discussion of colour temperature theory to find out why the right-hand flash-illuminated performer has a bluish tinge to his skin whereas the rest of the photo is illuminated with very yellow-orange light.

okay, I'll ask... What's going on in those pics Rubin?? I know it's some kind of costume/make up event, but what doesn't fit is the girl in the graduation gown

Car needs a bit more pop. Make another layer and brighten it. Also, I would clone out the tree right behind the car. Its kinda distracting.
