Devinda_Z Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Looks great Personally i'd have been happier if you'd retained the original 12J motor , but for what its worth you've done some good cosmetic work. Well documented too. Agree with everyone else - images 49 & 50 are fantastic ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both are very good shots. 51 - is good because of the background shows , dust from the vehicle - over a long stretch. Which means the photographer has waited for the opportune time - to take the photo & has also visualized the shot - & has planned accordingly. 52 too is good - because hereto the photographer has gone to some trouble to take this shot. [i'm assuming he was in the water himself - when this shot was taken] Edited July 10, 2010 by mirage7777 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[i'm assuming he was in the water himself - when this shot was taken] Thank u for your comments. Believe me, both 51 & 52 are absolute KANA shots. Taken from the first vehicle, and the person who took these photos, didn't Know even how to use a camera. Our first vehicle driver ordered him to just press the click button what u seen behind. Amazing isn't it....? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
