Nice chop

The res is a little bit small ..
And the engine bay is flat mate.
The car is also a little small in the bg.

awesomeeeee

good mods and shadows 5*

Refs are well placed and rims was a great choice.

keep it up

I really like the choice of background, it's a nice setting, and the style of mods you have gone for are good too. I'd like to see you do the chop in a higher resolution next time. Generally 1600x1200 is ideal for advanced choppers, or 1280x1024 for newer choppers. It may be harder to find donor images in the higher resolution, but the effort and time spent is well worth it because the whole image turns out much better.

Rims are good, I just think there is one thing you can do to improve them. I see that they have too much blue hue in them at the moment. What I'd like to see you do is (on a new layer) paint some of that brown (sampled from the background somewhere) over the top of the rims, then change this layers blending mode (perhaps 'hue' blending mode would work best here). You may need to lower the opacity of that layer down a tad also (50%), but I think overall it will help to make the rims look like they belong in that scenery better. It makes the colour of the light on the rims match correctly.

Also sometimes I like to add a slight dark shadow under the wheel arches (i.e. make the shadow go over the top of the tyre a little bit). I feel this helps sometimes too.

Keep it up and keep on practicing! The old saying of practice makes perfect couldn't apply more for chopping.

Been trying to figure out what doesn't look right. Its the lack of reflection. The drive way is wet or shiny. There should be some reflection of the car. The car should reflect some of the drive way as well.
