Since you pointed out the inky black look as "surreal" I will now say I strove to get a "surrealistic effect" in that shot instead of not compensating for the backlighting...:-)

Thanks guys...if you watched the Love commercials for MB, the last shot is of a GL550 (woman standing next to it) and it had that inky black look STP mentioned.

That "inky blackness" is pure stealth.

Haven't seen that commercial. I'm in Reno and they're a little behind the times. When someone askes what time zone we're in, I just tell them to set their watch back 30 years.

Hi Jack. I really enjoying your pictures and that GL550 is simply beautiful!!!.
One thing please don't change contrast or curve if you did. I love the original color. Thanks Chad

NAV Screen close-ups (not good)

The dark screens are the night view and the lighter ones the day view.

The nav system on MB has really improved in the last few years. I was really disappointed in the resolution and hard-to-see colors of the nav system on my SL500.

I see a lot of messages addressed to NJ. Just who the heck is New Jersey?
