RSX composite

This was probably one of the biggest projects I've done recently. It was your basic rig shot which I then added a sky, cleaned up the reflections, and then painted back in the rain drops that I got rid of when cleaning up the reflections. I'm pretty happy with it.
Looking at this pic reminds me why I bought EBP. Too bad it never looks this good under natural light. Acura's deceiving showroom tactics fooled me.

Just for sakes of comparison, here's what the original pic looked like.

Ugh. Trailing light shots are so cliche. Anyways, I already have one with trailing lights in the original. No need to have another one.

last one reminds me of a cartoon. but i dig it

was the car moving when you took the original or did you photoshop the movement?

the car was moving...

Jeff, fantastic job. When you going to teach those online PS courses?!

why is the original the rear of the car then teh PSones the front?

the rain above the car looks ok but below it looks really fake, and no water splashes.

Thanks for the comments everyone.

I just wanted to show you what the conditions were like. Obviouslly its a rig shot, and if you know how one works, you would know it is pointless to edit the sky in the original if you are just going to paste a new sky on top of it. So for the original imagine that the sky is actually red. Its essentially there for context.

That's why I said above that it was "more graphic." I had no intention of that last shot being realistic. It was more just for dramatics.
