What do you guys think?

[schwannman]

I didn't take this picture, i just finished editing it. i'm a noob to photoshop and it seems like there are quite a few people on here are pretty good at it, any pointers or tips you have would be much appriciated, and i lowered my car in this pic, if you can't tell. any tips on that, i'm too broke to buy coilovers right now :( sorry for the non e30 content!

a) this is a PHOTOSHOP subforum.
b) like i said it seemed like there were people who were good at it here.

i simply am asking for tips on editing, i figured people on a CAR forum would have knowledge about editing pictures of CARS!

a few things off the top of my head.

a) the photo isn't very interesting.
b) the sensor or the lens of the camera is dirty.. like really dirty.
c) the background is blah, and kind of distracting since there are trees sort of connected to the top of the car.

as for editing
a) the white is really blown out
b) you did a good job lowering it, although the shadows might be a bit off
c) a fairly basic edit in terms of changing the contrast and highlights

thank you, yeah i noticed that, the part about the camera lens, i dont really know the guy that took them but he seemed like a douche, and i live in nebraska so backgrounds...lol

yeah the whiteness of the white pissed me off too, it was pretty blown out already so not much i could do.

thank you for your help tho, i'll try to find more interesting places and a better time! the sun was super bright.

The "aura" around the trees screams "HDR" which is funny seeing as how washed out the focus of the picture is

Plus everything that daniel said

Plus the fact that your inner wheel well is nasty.

gave it another go, i think it's a little too low, and i didn't mess with the shadows like the last one so you can tell it's lowered but i think the rest looks better.

The exposure is just plain bad (so is the body kit, but this is the photoshop forum...) You can try using auto contrast/levels/color and see if that helps.

edit:Actually, in terms of photography, that is not a very good picture, get a new photographer.

[schwannman]

haha yeah, i was kind of dissappointed when i got the pictures but whatever, it was free.
