Very cool Pete. It looks like everything went ok for the day.

The composition on this is great. Doesn't look like the car was buffed up nicely though?

And would it be possible to change the gray area's to black? Would give it a better "checkered flag" look, and might make the colour of the car stand out more?

I love the angle on this! I agree with bace that maybe some color adjustment would help it to pop.

 

[Unimaxium]

I love the composition and use of wide angle. It makes the car look very streamlined and slick.

Though I also think it could use a tad more contrast and saturation.

 

[K-Y-L-E]

I love it dude, great shot

Sharp looking car..the colors though look a little washed out IMO. But what do I know.

This part was OK. The car was new, "out-of-the-box," and had not yet been on the track.

...make the colour of the car stand out more?

I'm feeling a bit the same way. I'm not certain just how to go about it... contrast, saturation, background work?

This one is OTE, so if anybody has some ideas, I'd be grateful.

Thanks to all for the kind words!

Here ya go.

I played around with curves and saturation levels to bring out the colors in the car, and then I used the Replace Color function to darken the tiles. I might have gone a little overboard, I'm not sure, but it was a pretty quick edit so at least this shows what can be done with the image. Hope you enjoy

Sweet! Thanks for the direction. I will definately do this work before I deliver to my client.

Thanks.
