Looking back at it i agree with that... tried it this way instead...

That works. Looks great. How did you generate the dust that was thrown up? Or was that real?

Thanks,

The dust was the more difficult portion of the edit. It is basically an intricate composite of various dirt rally images that were slowly built up together to try to give a sense of dimensionality to the cloud.. you wouldn't believe how difficult it is to get the color matched up between different types of dirt! Im just very happy that it came out at least half-way believable being it was my first extensive edit on a multi-image composite like this one..

Worked great. You ended up with a wall hanger. I like the fact that you toned down the flare on the right side a bit also.

^ Thanks! I can't wait to see it in print.

Here is another one of my car that I got to play around with for a few hours today...

I think your lights look good. Nice job

Bottom right hand corner there's some "scratches" on the pavement...is that a signature? I like the lights, they aren't too fake compared to the rest of the image which looks slightly fake to me overall, but I love the edit and think you did a tremendous job!

Thanks! Yea those scratches are my chicken-scratch hand-writting on the tablet.. lol.

as far as the image.. i need to investigate some... i might ahve had my brightness turned up wayyy too high on my 27 iMac when editing this.... it is much more vibrant and red on that screen... this dull not-so-vibrant look gives a videogame feel.... not sure whats going on... the mac is calibrated natively but i havent tried any prints or anything like that yet.... i guess i'll have to see how i looks printed out compared to what im seeing b/c ultimately for me that is what im aiming for.

Yeh the print is where you'll see the true colors and everything. It looked every so slightly better on my calibrated HP, but here on my work computer it looks like a video game. , nice work! I wish I could do something like this. Hopefully this summer

Make the grays from the car match the blacks in the background and it would be a lot better, IMO.

Pretty happy with how this one turned out.
