the UHC train at the front of the pack

went to the nature valley grand prix final stage in stillwater on sunday. i got significantly fewer good photos than i had hoped. :-(  the best of the rest will be posted later, but i decided to do a little processing with this pic of the UHC team pulling back in the break to get rory sutherland positioned for his eventual stage win.

and here it is after a little work in gimp (the gnu image processor, which is free... and really good, and... did i say free?)

kind of fun. it did help that i was desaturating the background and much of that was the street, which was already gray!
