New Porsche Turbo with PP

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Hello,

This was parked in front of my house over the weekend, I love it. But thought I would use it as a subject for learning to PP and layer, reducing color saturation of background.

Learnt this using http://av.adobe.com/russellbrown/ExtractSM.mov

this is a great tute I found via the wonderful people in here, thanks heaps.

Please, let me know what you think of my PP work, or any other comments.

regards,
Oz

Great shot of a great car. I would say the colour seems a little oversaturated at the front and the uneven lighting is not so good. Then you could hardly ask them to move it :lol:

Nice one :)

I would have left a bit more on the left as it's cropped a tad tight and cropped off a bit more from the right. In Photoshop, burn in the edges a bit as well to remove the distracting cars parked on the side of the road.

How did I know that Glen would reply to this post? :lol:

Nice photo Oz. As already noted, the uneven lighting provides a number of distractions, as does the background. I'd suggest jumping in and moving the car to a more favourable location. :wink:
