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

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
