Stretch and Poke E46

Here is my entry. I wanted to change colors of the car at first but realized how well this combo works as I found after changing the wheel color. This is boss. Simple mods (like fogs, boser style hood, and painted carbon hood) to keep the focus on atmosphere adjustments, details to the background change, and of course, the stance.

Enjoy cuz I love staring at this beast on my desktop. Looks so real imo

Nice style, very clean!
Cool work.

Just a few things I think could be improved:
- The front bumper looks to be scraping the ground while the side-skirt is sitting about 4 inches above it. This makes the whole car look like it's leaning forward. It might be to do with the background being slightly off
- I would have liked to have seen you clean up the side-skirt (remove the decal)
- Front wheel and tyre looks fine, but the rear one is screwed up. For one it's too narrow and has the wrong shape (especially on the inner side - the outer side is ok), and secondly it almost looks like there's another tyre touching the ground on a layer behind the tyre, so it looks like it's floating a bit.
- It's blatantly obvious that you used the same rim for the front and back wheel (all the tyre markings are identical)
- Removal of the tree reflection is ok, but I think the way the new building reflection just blends into the sky with no defined edge looks a bit strange.
- The front window's sky ref just stops where you've cut the background through the window. The cloud should continue to be visible in front of the new background (this is really easy to do with a white brush and the smudge tool)

Good job otherwise. The stance is quite nice... fix some of the errors with the background and rear tyre and it will be perfect :D

I really like the nos coming out of the rims
Klaus already pointed out all the errors, and I have to agree with him.
Although I kind of really like how the car seems to be leaning forward. Makes the car looks powerful and fast :)
Wheel fitment looks great too, the rims just might be a bit small for this car imo ;)

the shadow in the tires is more black of the shadows in the bumper, need more contrast and less brightness in bumper airtakes...
you cut the reflections in front window, should do a new interior or new reflection...
and don't change the bumper, is the same...
but it's beautiful, congratz :-d
Signature removed because it's too large. Read the rules about signature sizes.
the wheels do look odd :p
Thanks for the C&C guys!
