colours?

[plangereis]

I wanted to get people's opinions on this photo as I have processed others in a similar fashion. I had some difficulty coping with the bright sunlight and shadows while at a car meet in Langley. This one in particular had pretty dark shadows in the shade areas so I tweaked the image (colour, contrast, and vibrance). What do you think? Too contrasty? Too bright in terms of the yellow of the bus? Any other comments are very welcome.

ISO 100/ 18mm/ f/16/ 1/30sec (handheld)

Hi there,
I have to say when I first looked at this image I thought it was done as an HDR, it looks so like that but it's a cracking image and I really like it. don't imagine that the bright sun light helped but I think you have yourself a really cool image here. Well done I for one really do like it, thanks for sharing it
David.

Thanks for the vote of confidence, David. I struggled with this one and took some time to get the result. Cheers, mate!
