This tree looks almost as though it is growing out of my hood!
What Do You Think?

SqkyKln & 4.6GT & 2000,
Thanks for the great feedback!
I labor incredibly hard to acheive and maintain a really deep shine and incredible reflectivity!
It's a true love of mine, and I relish any chance I get to go out shine my car!
Off topic...I was in a coffee shop the other day, and I found a older couple looking over my car, circling and admiring! The older senior lady leaned over my hood...and then took a second to check her hair with the hood of my car!
I thought that was pretty funny, and just about choked my coffee from laughing while trying to swallow....:D
I added another picture! I really like this angle and picture for some reason! I guess because I catch the reflection from to different surfaces, vertical and horizontal?

I gotta give you credit for that one, thats probably one of the best reflection pictures I've seen. The tree just makes it look awsome.

Thanks Ricky!
I'm glad you all like the reflection shot!
I was just walking out to my car, caught the tree mirage on the hood, and thankfully had the camera with me!
It's one of my personal favorites as well!

atclew & gb387,
Thanks for the great feedback!
I hoped it could possibly be a winner, but I believe the contest is over and the award went to another very deserving winner!
Thanks for your votes though!

Maybe it's time for another contest, turn it into a quarterly competition?

Ummm.....
My Car
A Big Tree
My Camera
The Sunshine....lol
Just kidding!
The day of this shot, my car was done with(and forgive me if I use a name(s) other then Meguiar's) the following:
Meguiar's Soft Wash Gel
Mother's Clay Bar
Zymol Liquid Polish X 2 Coats
Meguiar's Gold Class Wax
2 Gallons of sweat...it was so hot that day...whew
All done by hand! No machines!
BTW...I used Zymol on a Lexus SC 430! This was 2 coats followed with Gold Class Wax!
I think it 's a great combo!
Check it out....what do you think?
edited to add that this car was done all by hand as well!
