Default SUV Advertisement post processing try out

Original version
gf

I was trying to create a shot that looks like a commercial for an SUV. So processed this picture that I had clicked, of my sister's Hyundai Santa fe and worked on it till I felt it gave me the desired output.

Post processed version
Adventure ride!


1) Curves adjusted
2) Background replaced with another shot I has photographed by myself
3) Added a color balance layer to match the colors of the new background with the original image of the car.
4) Cloned out the uneven reflections and added a mountain reflection on the right and also the wires in the sky.
5) Brought out the highlights on the car to give it a shiny look.

Cheers,
Mukul.

Best compliment I can give is that without the original I never would've guessed it had been altered. Good job!

Great job. Very moody, dramatic, and professional looking. You should be proud of it.

Excellent job. the reflection on the front of the car is a nice touch. I might consider getting rid of the license plate. New car ads generally don't have plates. It distracts my eye.
