Few snapshots of the new e90

So I got the Bimmer a few days before Xmas and after finishing a few mods up today I decided to snap a few non polished pics of her. No Photoshop this time, just some plain iPhoto for cropping and sizing. Hoping to do some HDR's when I find an interesting local to shoot um at.

well here ya go.

thanks for peekin at um.

Nice looking ride. And not to bust on Wisconsin, but that red front plate frame kind of ruins the front end.

on a fresh black paint, you should get better reflection than that... unless the cloud was little fuzzy like that..

I'm seeing em now only. They look a dark on my screen.. but lately I have been wondering about the brightness about my screen... glad you didn't "overdo" it, with the mild exception of the 4th one but I wouldn't consider it overdone. I like 3 the best, would be better brighter I think.. like this:



what do you think.

ps. is it just me or does the curves adjustment in Lightroom SUCK. I have been using PSPXI much more lately, than LR - esp for curves adjustment. It is amazing in PSPXI.
