    Not exactly a flower This is the engine of my brother's antique truck that is quite something to look at. It's actually bright orange so I changed it to a redder color and used a slight Fractalius filter on it.

    Hey, Paul, I don't know what headers are but thanks It's a custom made truck that was given to my brother by his son-in-law. Very loud but beautiful.

    HI Cheryl....I love the look that your processing gave to the metal...subtle but very nice! I will have to try fractilius at a low opacity on some of my shots. TFS

    I must have been half asleep...I meant to say nice valve covers (the chrome piece on the left with the red) although, I imagine your brothers truck does have nice headers (an assembly designed to collect the exhaust gas from two or more cylinders into one pipe).

    Maybe not a flower, but I would love to have a bouquet of these! Polished metal always makes a good subject and I like how you worked with it in this image. I can almost hear it...

    It's very loud! And uses LOTS of gas. He doesn't drive it often but it's nice to look at
