Awsomness indeed!
Love the effect that HDR images can have.
What program did you do those with?
Were they taken from 1 or 3 images? (RAW)

Excellent pics! I'm with Steve, though...the HDR could do with calming down a bit - for example it's picked out the reflections of the clouds and made the paint look patchy...which I know it's not, as Mark's car is really tidy! Don't supposed you've got access to the originals, Mark?
cheers

I don't think they were supposed to be realistic? I love the surreal look they have.

Yeah, I suppose its either "overdone" or "perfect" depending on what the artist was trying to achieve.
I like them. I know they make the paint look patchy etc, but it looks so impressive to me, as an artistic representation that Id be loathed to see the origonals really.
