Marty Bernard General Like me, you mustv had been using cheap slide film in the 1970s. This needs color correction to get the brown out. 9/17/2010 12:27:16 AM
George Redmond General Nice shot, Nice catch. 9/17/2010 7:45:24 AM
Curt Beal General It does have an aged look but what's the chances of seeing something like this? It is worth the editor's pick. 9/17/2010 4:52:42 PM
Bernie Feltman General Very nice photo, Rob! The smokin GE would be plenty, but I also like the signal 9/17/2010 4:57:52 PM
