Here is a poor man's HDR. Since I'm too stupid to figure out the whole HDR thing, I do it my way. I mask off areas that are too bright or dark (bright in this case) in quick mask, then invert the selection and use curves to make it look correct. Then, thanks Stan, I use the history brush on any areas that don't mesh well.
The dash part I didn't even adjust. However I did work on the area above the steering wheel a good deal with curves to pull the middle of the curve to the lower right. I used selective colours to tweek the red of the hood, it looked a little washed out. The curve was too extreme for the two lights on the crossing bar, so I used the sponge to remove some colour.
Can you tell the car needs a bath?
The title btw, is derived from the speedo. The Mustang is a 200 cid 5 cylinder...5 cylinder you ask? Yes, the number 5 cylinder does not work, either a broken ring or a burnt valve...still get 20mpg however. However, even if all 6 cylinders were to work, that thing would never do 140mph, even if dropped from space.

flies are buzzing around my head
vultures circling the dead
picking up every last crumb
big fish eat the little ones
big fish eat the little ones
not my problem give me some
you can try the best you can
if you try the best you can
the best you can is good enough
this one's optimistic
this one went to market
this one just came out of the swamp
this one drops a payload
fodder for the animals
living on an animal farm
if you try the best you can
if you try the best you can
the best you can is good enough
i'd really like to help you man
i'd really like to help you man
nervous messed up marionette
floating around on a prison ship
if you try the best you can
if you try the best you can
the best you can is good enough

Call me Snake offers an optimistic provocation – ‘imagine what could be here’ by Judy Millar. On a walk into the city October 3, 2015 Christchurch New Zealand.
The work is comprised of vibrant graphics of Millar’s looped paintings, which are adhered to five intersecting flat planes, and draws inspiration from the forms found in pop-up books. The colourful piece will add a dramatic and rhythmic counterpoint to the city’s current urban landscape — a mix of flattened sites, construction zones and defiant buildings that have stood through the quakes. The work employs theatricality, playfulness and visual trickery, whereby the viewer is unsure about the work’s flatness or three-dimensionality; and it has been designed to offer a different perspective from each angle. The bright colours interrupt the grey of the work’s surrounds, and as buildings pop up around it,
SCAPE 8, New Intimacies curated by Rob Garrett was a contemporary art event which mixed new artworks with existing legacy pieces, an education programme, and a public programme of events. The SCAPE 8 artworks were located around central Christchurch and linked via a public art walkway. All aspects of SCAPE 8 were free-to-view.
The title for the 2015 Biennial – New Intimacies – came from the idea that visually striking and emotionally engaging public art works can create new connections between people and places. Under the main theme of New Intimacies there are three other themes that artists responded to: Sight-Lines, Inner Depths and Shared Strengths.

Nessie's Canadian cousin (and actually an older legend!), the Ogopogo lives in a lake in British Columbia. This one somehow manages to happily fit in a bathtub. I suspect that most cryptids, including our friend here, are pan-dimensional.
(Yes, yes, we're way behind. This one is last-last Thursday's.)

New art i did recently ... i was feeling very uneasy about returning to casual work after my maternity leave. Staying home with my 2 little ones during the day and leaving to work 2 evenings a week ... Balancing life .... then i remembered to remain OPTIMISTIC. because that's who I am.
Today while visiting some nearby native firebush plants (Hamelia patens) I found this very optimistic honey bee trying to get nectar. Hummingbirds and green orchid bees can reach the nectar easily but it seems like a stretch for a honey bee-sized proboscis! She worked up a thirst collecting all that pollen.

Flowers - A single flower can be my garden... a single friend, my world. --
Flowers have a simple architectural beauty that radiate optimistic hue and are associated with the sun, warmth, and feelings of friendship and optimism.
Because of their varied and colorful appearance, flowers have long been a favorite subject of visual artists. Some of the most celebrated paintings from well-known painters are of flowers, such as Van Gogh's sunflowers series or Monet's water lilies.
Flowers can also be dried, freeze dried and pressed to create permanent, three-dimensional pieces of flower art.
I love to photograph, smell, see, and be around beautiful flowers.
I hope they make your day too!

It is Independeance Day, but I think unity is a better guiding principle. I think dialogue, cooperation, and understanding will get us much further than independence at this point in our history. I am optimistic that we can do better, we can't do any worse.
