Quote from andRo. :Well, basically he did everything right, I think... It's the same car, but just with different colors and textures and wheels. It is allowed to edit the car, even the smart way he did it. I know that he cut/pasted the car from his own screen shot to mine because the background seems to be from mine picture, but I guess I would allow it if it was done like this, that you theoretically leave the old car stand there. But there is one but...since the image or the car you copied over mine screen shot was not drawn by you in Photoshop, then it counts as an external image, so you also have to post that screen shot you used or your edit won't be taken into consideration.

If I got this thing wrong, please explain someone what has he done in the picture. That picture is mind ****, even the external image is different, but I guess you enlarged it since the skies look low quality.

You got it right. I screened it and pasted it into your shot. I attached the image to my entry post.

Don't know what you mean by "mind ****", I just replaced the original sky with the sun set. I had to resize it but it is not of low quality. I blurred it like I blurred everything else around and the noise is also done manually.
Nice one!
TY.

Cant choose between that and this
First one hands down.

Nice idea with the second pic, but it looks bad and really unrealistic. There needs to be more of a "transition" between the track and the sea.

Plus you forgot to do the windows.

Haha I knew the transition was really crap but I liked the idea, and also I didnt forget the windows just wasnt up to it then.

EDIT: This may look better
Yeah, a bit better.

Updated mine. Blurred the barriers like andRo said. Also added some mild sun rays and lit up the headlights.

Now if you delete the ".th" you get to the original picture. Weird thing you can't click 'em though.

Got it, thanks 5tag.

@jrd.Racer : Very nice picuture, like it, I think I'll try some too if I can...
TY
5tag - Okay, thanks. You forgot the windows though on your picture, I can still see the grass.
Devildare - No, I'll accept his entry since he posted the external image and he only copy/pasted the car not the whole background and the the same car is basically still there, so it's also good. If anyone wants to do that also, go ahead. And yes, your picture looks better with the blur.

jrd.racer - If you want to make it even better, you can add radial (zoom) or motion blur + radial blur to the wheels. So that it would look the car is going fast. Something similar to this: Click here Oh and I just noticed, why did you blur your sky? I think it's impossible to sky to be blurred like that in real life. If you blur the wheels and the road and wall and leave the sky without blur, I think the picture would out stand so much more. Just an advice, you don't have to do it if you don't want to.

Thats exactly what I had in mind andRo, but blurring the wheels wasn't going so well. I have done it before, I dunno what happened this time.
Will try again.

EDIT: got it! OP updated.

Thanks for the hint and for qualifying my entry.

A bit of criticism now if I may.^^

First you could sort out the blur issues around the car. There is a way and it's not even complicated or time consuming. Also a bit of the guard rail is not blurred behind the car.

Maybe you want to add the signs and a bit of other stuff next to the track. Your image overall looks a bit empty.

One last thing. :] I would have positioned the center of blur for the asphalt closer to the left end of your picture.

The outer border of the car is blurred too, you may want to fix that. Also with the sun setting/rising there is very few contrast within the landscape because almost no light reaches it. Thus the shadow under the car is too dark and the overall contrast apart from the background is too high.


Quote from FireMike15 :That's my FINAL ENTRY.

The same problem here: too much contrast/too bright and especially the shadow directly under the car don't fit the scene. Imagine the way light goes on your picture.
Also the lights look too simple and the grass in the foreground looks blurred too much compared to the rest apart from your background.
Last thing is there seem to be no windows installed. :/

Quote from skiper :NOT final!

Good overall lightning and impression but look at the car only. If the camera were an inch below you could see it from beneath. Seeing that you will realise your asphalt texture is looked at in a much too steep angle.

nice but on this screen i don't like that the barriers does not give any shadow, although the sun is behind them. If you take a look on my first post here, i took same screen for editing and i added that shadow manually
