I was at another oval racing event and unfortunately my camera packed up half way through and i could hardly change settings

Anyway i was lucky enough to catch this shot, 66 dave "spoons" spooner going in on 96 Dave "tank" tancock, my boyfriend.

I would like to know if you would crop this more or not?
and is it sharp enough or could i make it sharper? do the colours look ok?

If you try and sharpen it more it will look oversharpened. As it is, its too soft. F2 may be not an appropriate aperature for trying to get so much in focus at one time. I would go with maybe F11-16

come to think of it i don't think i know what the Fnumber was
this is the original

[windrider86]

hhmmm, your exif info you posted says it was F.2
have you tried an unsharp mask? I truly dont think it wil work but you might try it just in case

[Vix]

yes i know but thinking back it don't sound right think it was more likely to be F12
i have nothing to edit in really, only photo bucket where i store it, i'm afraid of getting GIMP incase i slow the computer down even more

Vix, have you tried Picassa? Its free and is very easy to use and is not a big programme. Run by Google.

and Jim that 659 is part of team that race with my boyfriend, i asked them all to put my site on their cars and they each got a free photo of their cars in return!
most drivers now recognise my site and pop my site on their cars when they get them painted up
