Ease off on the jpeg compression to avoid artifacts. Other than that I dig the editing.

A touch more profile to the car would have been nice. Nice work on the shadows.


people will always try to stop you doing the right thing if it is unconventional
Full frame and some primes.

What do you mean by artifacts?

you can usually see compression artifacts around high contrasting lines. They are just a characteristic of compressed imaging, and look kinda like rippling waves. The higher you set your jpeg compression, the more artifacts you get, but the smaller the file size.

Are they noticeable in these photos? I can't notice them. I changed the last one to maximum quality/lowest compression.

Last one looks great. Only noticeable in the first ones

Really nice job :) I can kind of see some repetitive patterns in the top, around the left-centre... which would be the only indication that it was edited... that I can find :P

I see a few repetitions with your clone stamp on the background. But wow... terrific shadow editing. How'd you do that?

I basically adjusted the entire image to get the correct exposure/highlights on the car that I wanted, then I selected the sunny part of the image, and then adjusted that concrete to match what I had already adjusted to my liking.

Shadows/highlights, color balance to match the concrete and to get the white balance corrected, brightness/contrast, and sharpening

I'm not at all sure about the white balance here. What color is the car supposed to be?

great job matching the shaddow/highlights. I was about to complain about that before I saw the last edits :D
