These are overedited, but he asked for something dramatic for a desktop image... and the original just looked kinda boring after this

This one actually looks better at larger sizes, I may get a poster lol

Nice work on these.

I'm not sure I like the black and white on car pictures though. Just something about cars that makes me want to see powerful, punchy colours and awesome wall backdrops. That may be the standard but I guess I like it.

You're most likely right, I don't know Evos very well

Good shots. I'd line to see color, too.

I believe the bw version looks better because of this:

I agree with keeping the car off the grass...however, at least in the bw it isn't quite as distracting, because the grass doesn't stand out.

I like shot #1 the best. The composition is better and the touch of color is nice...plus the house in the background is distracting in #2. Even though the image is bw, you could make it more dramatic...as boucha is hinting at. I would recommend burning the sky in PS and burn the corners/front edge of the grass slightly.

I like the tones of the color one, but #1 works, too.

That's a fairly "nothing" sky. Why not replace it with a better one, or at least select the car first so you don't get a halo around it?
Need to remove a background from something?

How would I replace the sky with another one?
