Dave, I'm cool with that

You are a well respected member here and popular with your witty twist on most anything and I need all the support I can get.

BUT, I need to explain a few things................

When I enhance a photo (for the video and not the voting thread, I don't touch that) I do not manipulate or touch-up the pic. I run it through enhancement software to help the pic look more like it would in real life and bring out the true colors.

Here's Summers truck:

Before


After


I do this so the HD video will look professional on an 80" TV. That's all. I'm not augmenting your girlfriend's breasts or anything like that. LOL

If I sounded a little pissed it's because I've seen some negativity expressed here about my work and the TOTM contest. There are some haters here on this board.

I would like to see the contest grow. I hope my work and my videos add to the quality of the contest. Why? Well, we have some world class trucks here. The best of the best. If the contest grew we might attract sponsors that would pool together for a nice first place prise.

The sky's the limit.

I’d like to see the augmented breasts on an 80” screen, that would be wowza.
No disrespect meant, might have slipped out because trump was all over the news last night and all I hear is collusion. Kudos for your efforts, you brought totm from average 20 or 30 total votes to 100 and beyond.

Screw 'em, let the haters hate, most of them will fade away eventually. Both of you are key players here.

@SPOAT, being partially color blind is hell.... I honestly can't tell any difference between the two photos
I do tip my hat off to you though....you have brought much needed attention to the TOTM contest for the past several months with your videos & "attention grabber" post headlines throughout the forum
