Overdone?

[meaganrose1234]

I was really going for the shape of the car as the main point in this image, but after post I'm worried that it looks overdone? I used Photoshop CS5

I think the reason no-one has responded is a lot of information is missing in your post. One of the moderators may very well respond soon and point out the error. I'll indicate what I can remember:
EXIF data is needed and specific questions as to what you want help with. If it is post processing you want us to critique then tell us what you did and with what software. The EXIF data is absolutely necessary in all critiques.

Sorry for leaving out the info. I took this on a Nikon L120, point and shoot, I have no idea what the EXIF is. I used Photoshop CS5, changed it to B&W, increased the contrast and added some noise. I wanted the focus of the photo to be the shape of the car but I'm concerned that after editing it looks too "fake." When I say "overdone," does it look as if the image has been over-edited?

EXIF is the settings you had when you took the picture: Shutter Speed, Aperture, ISO--that kind of stuff.

I do not have the original image, only the edited Lesson learned!

I think the image is ok as far as comp goes, but there is a lot of noise here.

Well, if you are trying to show off the rust and imperfections in the car, I think you're on the right track. I think this image could be really nice if the top side of the car wasn't so overexposed and washed out. Maybe if you make that portion a little darker, or add some amount of texture to that part of the car.

Did you apply a threshold to this image? It sort-of looks like you did.

It is not over processed if you like it.

Composition wise I would like a little more room at the top and a little less room at the bottom.

i am not critic but dont think it is over done

This looks like art. If you ask me i think you have achieved what you set out to do. I like it. I dont think you need to change it in any way. Good job.
