Pit stop

[tufcat]

Nikon D2X, Tamron 17-50mm-f/2.8, 1/60 @ f/3.5, ISO 200, Nikon SB800 Speedlight.

Used RAW image and Photoshop Elements to adjust temperature and create six layers with varied levels of exposure. Used the Eraser Tool to blend multiple levels and create even exposure across the photo. Selective color adjustments made to the car and crew members for added “pop”.

Outstanding Photo editing.

I like what resulted of the car's colors, yet I'd still dim the lights on the empty, static, bland bleachers as well as the concrete block that was lit up by the flash, and crop the lefthand side up to dude's helmet. Not sure if you're OK with it, but I'd even recommend cloning out the lower right arm, should be an easy enough job.

Best of luck.
