Saab 93 Aero PP

Before:


After:


This is single exp, jpeg shot originally, i haven't been able to take raw pictures with my Cannon S3IS at that date.

Some lucisart to get the colors, luma noise (product of lucisart) removal afterward, enhancing contrast and vibrance, overlaying sky (and some enhancements to the original sky - contrast, color balance - for better blend), masking some of the reflections from the car, destroying plate (patch tool instead of blurring, i wanted dirty looks.

Hope you like it.
I am still learning about photography so feel free to write a comment.

Feel free to add me as contact on flickr and comment on my photos, any comment is welcome!

Cheers,
DrunkDwarf

I like it! You've definitely exponentially increased the drama and glamour. My one suggestion would be to maybe crop out the structure (airport control tower, or something?) in the background on the right hand side...I just find it a bit distracting.

Thank you, i appreciate your input I've been thinking about that crop, and you are right it is a bit distracting, i will do the cropping and repost sometime this evening.

On the other hand, the control tower lends an association to jet airplanes without really needing the plane to be present. Croping it would remove that association and you'd be left with just some field somewhere and cement.

Stunning... really makes this image jump out!

I have to agree that I kind of like the tower; if something was to be removed I would try to remove the other car. I think it is a little distracting.

Yeah, doesn't Saab have that whole "Jet" marketing theme (I don't know their specific "Built like a jet" "Made like a jet" or whatever mantra!!!!).

I like how the sky turned out. Very dramatic.
