What do you think of this background?
My wife helped me create it in PhotoShop.
I use it as the background for my home and work computers.

Thanks for all the comments!
It is my first try at Photoshopping a picture.
I took that picture of my L in the driveway. It was a sunny day out. The emboss filter in Photoshop gives the shadows some depth. The standard emboss feature makes a silver/grey picture. My wife showed me how to overlay the blue on the silver embossed picture. Actually, I chose that color because it is very close to the color of my original HP background on my work computer desktop. I wanted something suttle so that it wouldn't stand out too much at work and not conform with our IS standards.
Fast Gator- I wish I had a cowl hood on the real thing!

Another way to alter the hue of an image is to go the menu IMAGE, then select 'Adjust' (it's right at the top of the menu list....then at the bottom of that is 'Variations'. It will allow you to add specific hues to the whole photo (or selection if you've used the marquee tool to select just an area). You can also lighten or darken it as well. A very useful tool. I've even used it to create comps of possible paint schems for motorcycles a couple times.
Been using photoshop for over 10 years...any questions, hollar.
