1963 Mack b-61 Diesel BEAST Ruled the roads through the 1960's as the toughest truck ever made. Beautiful lines on these trucks with the classic bulldog hood ornament. This is the ultimate American truck.

Sorry Randall, its a 9 for me. I wonder how many actually downloaded this image? There is a lot of C/A on the left side, truck and tree, plus quite a bit of noise. Other than that the image aand shot looks good.

@john- please check a PM... I'm not finding the CA with the normal download... or noise, just normal sharpening artifacts that show the added grain... There are basically two kinds of digital camera noise: luminance and chroma (or chrominance). Luminanc

Luminance noise tends to resemble film grain - gritty or, at higher ISOs, a bit chunky. Chroma noise shows up as discolored blotches, typically reddish and greenish (tho' blue and yellow will show up too). This is what contributes to that sickly look on s

sickly look on skin tones and odd look of lighter colored solid tone objects such as walls. Both types can be fixed independently with most noise reduction software. So if you happen to like gritty grain but want to get rid of the splotchy colors, you ca

you can reduce the chroma noise and keep the luminance. I'm not a fan of unnaturally smooth skies, so I like to keep a bit of the grainy appearance.

Randy John is correct. It has purple fringing all around the mirror and supports for same. Just opened it and Camera Raw and removed it with C/A settings. Sky also very noisy. So I wonder who did actually bother to download it huh. If the download is a ki

Yes, I Downloaded it, but did use a Microscope to examine for Flaws. It's strikes me as Quite amazing as how someone can take anothers image and correct flaws but yet can not correct their own. Halos, CA, Burnt Areas. LMAO!

Agree about red lines on the tree on left side, my question is if they are normal artifacts why the red lines are not visible on the tree on the right side? otherwise perfect
