Wow! Really like the first one eye-popping it is. Is she laying on the ground? It would have been nice to have shown the roof line with a bit of blue sky above, other than that perfect.

She's on the ground, as was I. Agree, wish I had got more of the sky. Thanks for the critique.

I was in a Lake Havasu City, AZ, a notable hot rod town. I was struggling with capturing the "art" of body work. I used it to learn layers and masks in Photoshop Elements.

Attached are the "before" and "after" where I got rid of everything that was not part of the "body art".

The prints are far better than what you can see here.

"One Sweet Ride" would look wonderful without the background "noise".

Kinda confused which one were you looking for a critique on
then the step on....
like the first picture, wish it wasn't cropped on top second one nice but maybe a little more centered on the logo, third one nice shot
as for the step on picture....like the effect, maybe losing the car next to it on the fender in the rendering would be better

Very nice job on that rod. I like it. Unfortunately, I don't have PP yet. Still running XP. Guess I will have to upgrade soon. Looking for something better than Win8. lol

Step on? Come on. I was offering an approach to car photography! The OP asked for ideas! I showed one.

But, next time I'll know to keep my ideas to myself.

Sorry everyone; Nightski sent me a PM on the rules and I should have only posted 1 photo for C&C. Won't happen again. And yes, I would have kept the low rider up there. I knew it was needing something else. Had the right idea, just didn't go far enough.
Thanks again.

Juicesqueezer,

If I offended you, I apologize. I thought by showing an example of eliminating the background it might emphasize the reflections from the car. I also thought the purpose for this section was to develop techniques.

You certainly did not offend me. I thank you for your input. I like what you did with that car. I wish I had photoshop, but like I said earlier, I still use XP. lol
