    Re: Steel Bird

    The car looks great! I like the reflections of the trees on the hood...but not so much the reflection of the camera. I think the way you angled it adds a lot to the image. Too bad about the oil stains on the pavement. Could you maybe remove those?

    For me, not enough of the car shows, especially where the frame around the Firebird is cut off.
    Keep Shooting!

    Re: Steel Bird

    I like it, but I think the yellow lines are a little too bright and are a little distracting. Have you tried converting to B&W?

    I'm very sorry, but it just doesn't do anything for me.

    Re: Steel Bird

    Maybe trying best of both worlds on this one since the car is silver or grey leave it in B&W but leave the color in the lights amber, and the parking lot stripping and curb and other distractions look better in B&W.
    But Like the look of the car.

    Re: Steel Bird

    I liked it in colour better. I think icicle has a good idea...maybe combine the two somehow.

    This looks much better in selective color. It is a shame about the nipped edge of the frame around the Firebird symbol though.

    I agree it does look better.
    I only wish I knew PSE7 better to fix the frame around the symbol.

    If I told you, I would then have to ......... Well you know the rest. J/K

    The way I did it was too both of your pictures opened them up in Photoshop, them over laid the colored one over the B&W one, then erased all the color except for the lights. then merged them together.

    However there are probably more ways to do than how I did it.
