    Lonnie, You deserve it man! It really was/is a great car all around. It couldn't happen to a better guy to get mag coverage. I will have to go buy that mag to save.

    Congrats on the feature!

    For what it's worth, aqua is a very hard color to photograph. The same subject with the same camera position will come out a lot more blue or green just by moving the lighting. I have had to shoot photos of candy aqua paint and that is even worse than a solid color.

    Then further down the chain, the printers will "tweak" the color (correctly or incorrectly ) before the photos go to press.

    It's no wonder that the color is way different than that daylight burnout shot at the dragstrip. I tend to trust that color the most. (Gorgeous! btw :thumbs2:).
