well, first time using Photomatix 4.2 and had problems with my usual workflow, ended up importing the NEFs directly.

Trevor, you didnt address the guy walking by on the right. He is half there and half gone. You should have used the manual deghosting feature.

Man you need to pick another way of uploading. Use dropbox next time so much better. 3 hours to download the 3 files.......

I need to stop editing late night

Never tried that feature before, I resubmitted above, better?

When I worked on the image Trevor I see that its actually 2 guys walking side by side.

I wish when you guys submit your pics you wouldnt do any cropping. The idea is to show how you process the image, not how sharp your scissors are. It just makes it easier to see the ins and outs of what you have done.

Ahh, I wasn't sure about that and was going for the best composition

I'll re-edit tonight if I can find time.

You really are a big fan of selective coloring hugh? I think in all your posts you have used it...its just not working dude...either go black and white or full color.

vipgraphx, how about giving me some useful critique. If you don't like the style, fine, but give me some critique I can use. Specifically, what is wrong with it? What can I do to improve on my specific style? There are people out there that like selective coloring by the way.

And I'll critique yours. Your coloring is off. The entire image is too busy, and the car blends too much with the background. I can't tell whether your image is focused on the car in the front, the red car to the left, the TV screen, or the people walking next to the green thing. The orange inserts on the front headlights look hideous, and the blurry ceiling just stands out too much for me... Just not working for me.
