Very nice pix!

I really like the black and white, but how do you get the dabs of color? Like the red tail lights. How do you get the b&w look, yet with a little color?

Again, very nice pictures,

Elmer

I like how you left a bit of yellow from the brakes there.
The variety of textures in that first pic catches my attention. (the ground, the foilage, the metal) If I had to pick a favorite, that'd be the one- with the third photo a close second.


Ahem . . . how comfortably close were you to that furry guy with the horns?

Excellent photos!!! Apparently colds have no impact on your sense of aesthetic awareness. I confess, they do mine.

Looks great! I love your car as well, tint windows, front indicators and rearlights and bam!

What wheels are those and where can I get them in Europe? You live in the UK don't you? Where did you get them? How much? Thanks!

These photos are such a treat. Thanks for sharing them. For an instant I was reminded of the movie "Blow Up" and thought I would find a body in the background of one of those pics. I've just been looking at better quality digital cameras and wonder what you use--yours must have a very good telephoto or the creatures in Manchester are unusually docile. Best wishes.

my cam is a Sony DSC F717 Cybershot

http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/sonydscf717/

its an ok cam and has got me this far

but i am now seriously looking at a DSLR

Rebel XT v D70

im being edged towards the smaller Rebel at the moment and then need to get a nice wide angle lense as i am trying to get into motion rig type-pictures like our master - Mr Bunting

EDIT

some pics that didnt go to plan







and finally this one i forgot to post due to size restriction on M2 grrr
