This is our entry in Bulgarian battle, with Darkkk. I know that rims are low res, but I really like them.

chop:

You should be promoted, I think.
Great chop, very nice idea and clean execution.
Maybe the car is a bit too dark for the BG and the surfing board in front looks a bit too big.

nice chop and i agree you should be promoted , i like the color of the chop but tires are too small


keep it up

nice work , some work on the red to match the bg would help
and a color filter would really bring this too life

try this ::::

brighten the red a bit so its matches the bg better

try brushing over the whole pic with brown , then select fade brush , then set blending mode to color dodge and lower the effect - bar untill it looks good

this way the car and bg both have the same tones all over )hue( and it looks like sun shine


you will see its only 10 minutes work but makes a whole lot of difference

if you poay with this way of colorfiltering instead of the build in ps filter you will see the possability is endless

you can give everything blue hue and after that make the sun shine

try different blending modes also

you can brush only a top part of a pic with a mild brush and low setting and create certain light effects

always just brush over your pic with a color and then fad ebrush tool and play with difefrent blending modes and opacity´s

for sun brown works great
