Default The Mustang Cobra

Haven't posted in a while... Wedding. Commissioned to take car photos for a birthday gift to a husband. Tweaking older photos for canvas printing for a coffee shop. Etc...

But, here's one that I was playing around with recently. It's not HDR. Though it is post processed like crazy.



Initial work in Lightroom, then in PS I did some serious mid tone sharpening, brought back into Lightroom to tweak the colors a bit, etc...

I basically wanted it to look more like a concept car sketch. It's not for everyone. I look at it and depending on my mood, I either like it or hate it. But I thought I'd toss it up here to see what others thought

I like it. Maybe the background is a tad busy and detracts a little from the car itself but it certainly has something of a surreal look to it. Nice work.

Hmmm...maybe I should crop a little tighter... I'll have to give it a try. Or add a vignette... I'll have to give it a try! Thanks

I think a light vignette would really make the car pop!
