The first PS'd one has a big chunk of color thats not part of the car. Second looks pretty good. Anything to make that busy background less noticable

Now im at the point where I did this in 10 minutes. Too fast actually because i did a crappy job on those bushes in the background lol but you get the point. Just keep practicing

:shock: Cool! I still don't understand how you can take something out of a picture with PS..

[silentm]

hey stoopie i voted for the original, mainly because the first PS needs more refinement and also the colorful reflections in the carpaint that disturb the overall image. but it's a good start keep practicing!

the 2.nd PS is very good imo, BUT that weird layer you added to the background doesn't look very nice imo :? like an old photo but the rest is 'new' black/white style. that doesn't mix too well imo. maybe you could just blur the background a bit isntead of using the other filter.

i hope i could give you some good imput :) don't be discouraged! the next attempt will be better ;)

not to discourage or show up or anything but here is what i did to the picture seeing what kind of direction you were heading....
