In addition to loving photo's of archictecture, nature etc, i also enjoy motorsport. A close friend of mine owns 2 ferrari's and a porsche, i'm fortunate enough to drive them when i please and accompany him to various track days up here in Queensland.
Here's a Photoshopped pic of his 2005 Ferrari F430 at the track yesterday, i thought my efforts turned out quite well, i wanted a subtle blur and some wind blown edges............. this is my first serious attempt at PS.

Sit, stay, ok, hold it! Awww, no drooling! :O

Nice picture... I like the angle...

I like the concept... take the reflections of the background out of the front bumper though.

sg,
Both shots look great. I love a great car shot. I agree that the reflection is a little distracting.
I hope you dont mind but I couldnt resist having a play around with such a great shot...

SG,
I didn't take long. Most of it was just using the photoshop clone tool to remove the background and trees visable through the windows. This is relatively easy because the rest of the background is already burnt out. It took a little longer to remove the reflection on the front of the car, again just using the close tool to copy colour from nearby without any visable reflection. I only changed the colour to highlight the changes (using hue adjustment and mask). I was going to make it pink but thought it might reflect badly...on me.
here is the edited version without the colour change..
