RX-8 Drivethru

Another variation of the RX-8 shoot. Someone at flickr commented that those circles from the pipes metaphorically implies the engine of the RX-8.
Of course I forgot to mention that the car has no pistons.
Update: This shot has garnered a noteworthy mention in Photofriday.com. A big Thank You to everyone who voted for it.

It’s a long time coming
A couple of months ago, when my long-suffering hard disk gave up the ghost and crashed – I lost years of work. 5 years worth of pictures I’ll never recover vanished in a blink of an eye. With the lesson learnt, I’ve decided I should store my photos, or at least the JPEGs elsewhere. Besides, it was something I’ve been meaning to do for the longest time.
I understand what you mean, 1999 i lost all my photos, technics from over 30 years worldwide work…
Too much rain, water in my hometown…
Then i started digitaly photography and i never work for the stock.
Photos only for today, my clients or the web.
My compliments to your great photos, keep on the good work and good luck
regards from Tenerife, Canary Islands

Stunning photo, real good. Can I ask what you did in photoshop to get the colors etc. like this. I really like the TOPGEAR look.
Klaus> To be honest, I still have’t gotten over it. And I still do have regrets. 30 years you say? Wow.. that’s a great loss I can’t possibly start comprehend. I saw your works, its amazing! Thank you for your words of encouragement, I appreciate it.
Frank> Glad that works for you too.
I used channels mostly, to punch the reds and blues.
How the heck did you do this??? I absolutely love this. The deep blue sky is amazing. I also really like the contrast. Great work as always, Imran.
The red car pinching brightly well with the pin of giant cylinders..poles of eyes looking on it,well taken shots.
