Pretty cool stuff....looks like a professional shoot now.

BTW, are able to remove that front plate holder? If so, ditch it and buy some plugs for the holes.

 

i was thinking about going aero kit, but plugs are cheaper.

 

I like your first idea better. I should have thought of it.

 

have you been taking hdr lessons from knightcom? looks good.

 

nope didnt know there was another fellow HDR fan here. i was reading some tutorial and decided to give it a shot, that was my first attempt.

did you have to download the program or buy it?if so which one

 

Nice!

I would personally do three things...

-Tone down the sky just a tad... maybe desaturate it a bit. Also feather or add a gradient map to soften the transition where the building meets the sky.
-Clone out the building address number - it's distracting
-Clone out the cement square and metal cap in front of the car


I also generally add a mask that darkens the windows, and another mask that highlights the wheels + headlights. See below.

 

I couldn't resist... Sorry. I didn't do the window darkening, there's a ton of odd colors in there and it just looked bad when I darkened it. Desaturating it was bad too since it didn't match the rest of the car.


It's a little sloppy, but you get the idea.

Nice work by both of you guys... I wish I had the time and patience to learn some of these higher-level PS techniques.

UU, did you tone the sky down to the right of the light pole or just to the left?
