Few Extra Photos of the Black 458

Heres a few extra pictures I edited of the beautiful black 458 Italia. These are a little different than the stuff I usually post but was a fun editing process. Let me know what you think!

You got some weird outlines on the hills in #3. Looks good otherwise though.

Ya Idk what happened there. Anybody have info on how I could remove them in CS5?

Clone stamp tool? I dunno what else to do. I got that in a few of the bike shots I did yesterday.

Did you mask the sky into the Garden of the Gods background, or did the outlines appear during some other edit?

If the sky was masked in, you need a softer feathered edge between masked layers. This could also be the result of bold changes during editing to contrast and edge sharpening. Hope this helps. Would love to hear what others think as well.

Great looking car. Nice to see some great local motor enthusiast images. I really like the interior and engine compartment images.

Thanks for the kind comments.

I merged 3 to HDR using CS5. And im sure thats where the outline came from. Id like to get it out if possible but it seems hard and Ive tried a few things. Any body know?

I could do a clone stamp but It would be hard to make it blend nicely still. I think you will be able to tell. Idk ill play with it and give it a shot. If anybody knows anything better please post!

Stuart - I sent a long winded PM, hope it helps.

The 'studio' look to the windscreen etc. in the interior doesn't work unless you're actually studio lighting in my opinion. You can see the clouds and sky and stuff reflecting off the dash and paintwork, and the difference between the paintwork and the sky doesn't really fit, hence your overly noticeable change on the mirrors and dash. Try throwing some flashes in there, and then draping a large white cloth over the car. This will diffuse the light nicely, make processing a lot easier, and it will all look much more natural.

Hot car : ) Watch things like the road grit particles in that last shot, though; I thought I'd gotten some nasty dust on my monitor somehow, for a second. Those things really stand out in that shot, for some reason.

Ferrari's are always beautiful. Love the first and second shot!

Sorry, but in the "Share" areas IMAGE POSTING RULES only allow 2 attachments by the OP per thread, OR 8 embedded (linked) images, OR a combination of both totaling 8 per thread. (Maximum 1024 pixels on any side.) You can always just post a link to more, though, or better yet, post a link to a gallery so we don't have to click on each image link.
Some exceptions are group threads, like "Show Me...", "Post your best...", equipment reviews, Tutorials, etc.

Ya I didnt have the stuff with me on the shoot so I worked with what I had. Thanks for the info thats one of the next shots im going to try. Just thought Id play with the concept in this shot.

Ya, its actually water drops from snow that was falling at the time. I might edit them out.

I think Ive got it fixed, it was changed to links because the images were to big. I resized them. Hope its good now.
