350Z

This is my first clone job. I removed the license plate, and cleaned up the shadows. Is it noticeable? At 100% it looks bad, but I'm not sure how much I can tell from this photo.

Any critique is appreciated. Is the shot boring? The other 350Z threads in here have some really neat images that I don't think this compares to.

Oh, and it was taken out the rear window of a suburban, in the rain. I think that affects the sharpness here.

I think color is important with sports cars.

It looks OK at that size, but I'd like to see color, too.

The car is black, and the green background distracts. Would I be better off removing the background from the original, instead of the B&W?
Does anyone have any more tips as to how I should edit this image differently?


Here's the original.

Edit: I realized I just uploaded the color version, not the original. This is the original. I don't think the next poster saw it or the last one.

Nice shot of a cool car. Color-version much nicer in my opinion.

This is about the best I can come up with. I think your choice of B&W works better.
