new edit

[Chase]

i dont know but i love that photo

[implayaz9]

i would love a bigger version for wallpaper

[mad325is]

hood is too hot for my taste... but the original is really good!

[Travis]

The edit just makes it look really noisy..

[rGrissM3]

yeah just do bw and some added contrast and maybe curve work. Also, if you're going to sharpen the image, only sharpen the car.

[Stephen]

I like it, but i think its taken a bit far for me. What about a little color, less noise?

Kinda like this, hope you dont mind:




Or something along those lines

This would be passable if the car were white balanced.

None of them look nearly as good as the first.


I don't mind the added noise in the one because of you trying to accomplish a vintage b&w look, but the whites are way overblown and the shadows at the bottom of the car are too dark.

Stick with the original IMO.

just kidding, i see your point. anyway OP i think the first shot is good, just offering a compromise of sorts

[e30pwr]

its all good comments, i could care less if you all told me it was shit, if thats your opinion its your opinion. But thanks for the input, I'll do another edit while i watch the florida game here in a sec.

And for those asking about background size, which one? the original i'm assuming?

I think the edit would look really really good if it wasn't of a modern car, like if it was of a vintage or even 80's early 90's. The new GT40 looks really modern, hard to pull off a nice old style look. My 2 cents
