Just playing around with the Topaz adj. , Probably a little overdone but it's something to look at ...lol
Before

After...

I touched up the Shadow/highlights first, then used the Detail adj. in the presets,tweak each setting a little.Mainly the NR to get a smoother look on the car.Then used PSE 6 to select the mustang,inversed and did a B&W conversion. Straighten & Crop came next then I did the frame work.

Feel free to comment, this was done for fun anyway !

I like this picture. I think they b/w emphasises the "vintage race car" background and the selective color emphasises the "modern race car". I especially like the taking of the picture at an angle for it's effect when rotated level. This looks very intentional and well thought out.

I think the car could use just a little more room in front of it, maybe more than is available in the original. I also think it took a bit too much adjustment due to the dark area at the left front of the car.

A retake on a bright but overcast day with fewer harsh shadows and this would be excellent.

Thanks for your view on the pic ! Its kool you see it that way!
And you was dead on about the heavy shadow area causing a issue, I had to balance out noise & sharpness in that area !

I'm waiting on a good overcast day for sure !!!
