dude that looks photoshopped
lol not even kidding. cause everything around the car is all blurred, and the car is just so...random
lol
well i did clean it up, make it look nice, and added my own blur effect.
I tend to always do that, multilayer it. one layer is the original. the second, is just of the subject (in this case the car), and then the other focuses just on the background.
I begin working on the background first, making sure the colors are nice and clean. I remove anything that is not supposed to be there (artifacts from a dirty lens, birds in the sky that makes things looked wrong, etc.) After all that then, I begin working on the car. I bring out all the lines of the car, apply a very small shadow/highlight since the car is black and clean up anything that looks wrong.
I then decide what I want my final image to look like. In this photo since there was a lot going on in the background, i decided to blur it all out and make the car the main focus. Some like the results as did I, and some say, it makes the subject look smaller like a toy car, etc.
So the original is basically to compare what i have changed so far, and to see if i like the differences or not.
There is nothing FAKE in the photo. I never forge my work and create FAKES or RANDOM things.
To some peoples eyes...it is just ART.
On post 274 I did put the original edit from the shoot up there. I just resized it for everyone to see it. and if anyone wants to make it look better and all, go for it.
