    Default Looking for Criticism

    Always had a moderate interest in photography and I know little of anything other than how to point and shoot and use rookie editing software, but I did this and was kind of proud of it, but know it could be better. So I'm lookin for help on gettin that way. I edited out some tiny stuff, cleaning some spots on the car eliminated teh reflection of the light post on the hood, the antenna, simple stuff then started playing with the lighting and other things.

    Criticism? You can to the right place. I'm sure there will be plenty to come. lol

    But I think you edited too much of the reflection away on the headlights. It doesn't look completely real. But overall it looks good.

    Editing photos is just like painting a car. You have to start with a smooth base. If you start with better photos, your editing will be less of a load and the resulting product will shine. The original foto of the Stang wasn't that great so just take the time to get a good shot. AND CLEAN THE CAR

    You might also want to level the car out. The angle is awkward.

    Hope that helps.

    you got to start somewhere. but this really is a bad picture to begin with. like the first reply said, find a better subject and go from there. you can still see where the light pole was in the hood but that also takes practice.

    Once again.....Reading > you

    Just to state this more clearly so you don't misunderstand the purpose of this thread, once again. I want criticism on the photography and editing, not the car. It's not my car, I barely even like the car. I don't give two civics what you have to say about the car, only what you have to say about the photography.

    If you want to lose that cute little car in another race, my grandma is pretty fast with her walker. Probably faster than that thing is.

    No problem, just trying to help. I could hook you up with Photoshop 4 if you're familiar with computers/software. The only thing is we don't have any common ground. Tis a pretty big file so I can't just email it to you. If you're interested I'll try to find a way to get it to you... but it's a PITA to install because... yeah. PM me if interested.
