All the stuff at the top is distracting, and doesn't add to the
photo. I'd crop it down to where the white tires were at the top of
the frame. Something like this:

If you have photoshop or similar, you might try playing around with
adding a motion blur to the background and tires.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll see what I can do.

Take Care,

I was curious, myself, so here is my attempt:

Far from perfect, but gives you an idea (or whoever looks at these for
you).

I was curious, myself, so here is my attempt:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/billkeshlear/4832362483/sizes/l/

Far from perfect, but gives you an idea (or whoever looks at these for
you).

I forwarded the link to my wife, who does a lot of interpreting / describing
for me. My kids and a few friends also help when possible.

I'll let you know what she says as soon as she takes a look at it. And I'm
sure my kids will be interested as well.

Thanks for the suggestions. We do have Adobe, but neither my wife nor my
kids are well-versed in its use. My youngest son is the most interested in
it, but it plays second fiddle to his music. I'm sure your handywork will
spark a bit more interest in him as to the program's capabilities.

Take Care,
Dudley

To me, it looks much more artificial than the original with that false
motion-blur. The cropping has helped, though.
