thx guys.. afterall i started photography about 2 months ago and this was my 1st ever shoot of cars.. bare in mind the all time sunny weather of Dubai was very bad that day and I had no reflectors, flashed , etc ! I personally love the viper shot and makes me proud every time I look @ it :)

the all time sunny weather of Dubai was very bad that day and I had no reflectors, flashed , etc! Generally, forget the sunny part of the day & try using this light:

2. After clearing all the background - I did this by using the eraser pixel by pixel :)... i could not use the lasso tool as it kept going off track !

love the detail shots

i could not use the lasso tool as it kept going off track ! Aggggh! I hate that tool. You should have used the PLT:

Good try with the gradient. I'd put some shadow under the front wheel.

[persiano_dubai]

i actually used the GML tool... first removed big chunk of the bg, then with the eraser removed the rest

love the detail shots

Thank u :)
