Very nice. Has kind of an "evening" or "dusk" glow to it.

Thanks! I took it in the evening and applied some softening effects to the photo for the 'diffused light' kindof look. I'm glad this time I didn't get ridiculous reflections off the headlights. I usually have problems with that taking shots from the front.

What's wrong with a gif? I find them less lossy than a jpg.

You might've left the dithering option on, and in addition a .GIF is also limited to 256 colours. A good quality JPEG compressed using quality software (Photoshop CSx will do it) will trump the .GIF every time...

Ah crap I see the issue with the picture now.. I couldn't see it on my laptop monitor.. now that I'm looking at it on my desktop it makes sense. I'll fix that.
