Bored, so... "Burn Out!"

I finished all the yard work that's going to get done, painted some windows... It's just turned November & I'm bored already! So I played with Jimmy's Cobra this AM.
(He's always said that he wanted a proper burn-out shot, but sadly could only come up with wimpy air pollution.) ; )
I hate to think what I'll do next! I hope you have enough to keep you busy until next Spring.

What did you use to do that? Photoshop?

Yes, PS7. Most of it was done with Layer Masks.

I was getting rusty & forgot a few things, like I should have redial blurred the tires along with the wheels, so I'm glad that you guys liked it. Thanks for the comments!

I decided that the smoke should be brightened, lowered in the frame, & that a narrow crop would make the Snake look longer, so...

if you put the smoke layer over the car more it would look more realistic. like smoke it billowing out of the wheel well

Good idea!

You forgot to blur the letters on the rear tire. You essentially have a rim spinning inside a rubber donut.

May I refer you to post #5, above? ; )

Yea, i can still read the letters on the tire... not convinced.

I was referencing, "...forgot a few things, like I should have redial blurred the tires along with the wheels," after which you said, "You forgot to blur the letters on the rear tire."?
