Let me know what you all think.

i like it i just might add a little vinetteing around the edges, or maybe darken the pavement a tad... it looks great, and has a nice feel to it, but something about the lightness of the pavement in contrast to the car, and sand seems a bit off? I also like the reflection of the sky in the side windows of the original. and being that you enhanced the reflection on the door panel, i would think the sky in the windows from the original should remain? (my personal opinion obviously)

looks great though :thumbup:

[S4toSTI]

Yeah trying some new stuff it is kind of tough. The pictures i was working with are pretty tough. The original is actually another picture totally, the re edit is a bled of another series when the polarizer was in a different spot. I guess i could do some blending with it I will work on that later tho... late for work as always.

[grimm]

definitely stepping it up! and you can tell it's a composite of a few pics by the people in the background... looks like 3-4 pics? I think you got it down good, just minor tweaking and it'll be locked in.

[Broken5hift]

i think it went from meh to "yo i'll buy that pic off you".

talk about a world of difference. very nicely done.

[Vypurr]

HDR from a RAW image?

[TrboChicsRock]

Awesome job Barry. Makes me realize that my PSing skills are not so good.

Good job on almost making an STi actually look good :lol: :-p (I kid, I kid :) )

I left the people i think they are cool lol.

[BradC]

What did you do?

From your comments, it seems like different use of a CPL filter? Did you just blend together the interesting parts?

[CarbonIS]

Barry I think that it looks amazing...do you have it in a high resolution so that
I can make a big print of it, frame it and hang it in my living room at my apartment?

[Snoozie]

I love the HDR look. But it bothers me that the horizon(where the ppl are) isnt straight.

Yeah let me work on it alittle more before you do anything like that lol.

[CarbonIS]

i like it how it is!

[grimm]

i like it how it is!
thats the funny thing, if you only saw the orig pic you'd be like, yea i like it, but now you see it enhanced and you're like WOW i love it. But let barry tweak it a bit more and you'll be like let's f23k!:wink:

[ibepressin]

The color is better in the first picture for the car paint.

[Broken5hift]

the original is better, too much noise in the blue paint on the second

[TROLL]

yeah i've been having trouble controlling sections of the photo, still messing with it... thats the 3rd revision, ha. i agree about the color of the car though for sure...

[S4toSTI]

Everything is better in the re edit bryan except the car, the building and the sky look awesome.

[04BlueSRT4]

Looks awsome Barry! I got alot of practicing to do

[grimm]

troll,
just drag the original onto a new layer on the edited pic and then erase everything but the car, or the parts of the car that you like..

example:

[TROLL]

looks good! i was giong to do that but i'm on my laptop and its not so hot for editing. i'm also having some color space issues that i cant figure out so things are displaying strange :(

[grimm]

pssh!! you got like the coolest wireless mouse you should be a wizard with editing. :)

(might need to upgrade your video card driver?)

[SeMaxima99]

omg wow i wish i had some photo skills like that.

[S4toSTI]

We got the same mouse and mine broke... weaksauce so if anyone thinks mine is bad thats the reason lol.

[grimm]

(factory warranty? i like my $30 targus stow and go. broke it, mailed it back, and got a new one within days.)

Very nice Barry.

How many images...and what HDR...the built-in-one with CS2??

I agree 100%. Great job so far, but a little tweaking would really perfect that pic.

[012.5RS]

both look really awesome. I'd love to get some pics of my car done like that after, im all done it

[S4toSTI]

I agree 100%. Great job so far, but a little tweaking would really perfect that pic.

I couldn't disagree more about the vignetting. But besides that i don't disagree.

[dancemf666]

[jspek]
