Welcome Edelstoff

Nice collage but for me you are missing the chocolate :grin::grin: now that would be heaven

Palms

:-) yes, and nice girls, but i am no terrorist so there are no 100 virgins ;-))

Welcome to Retouch Pro, Edelstoff!

A very good composit. Love the classic car. I do have one nit to pick though. The shadow under the car and the reflection. To me the gap between the two is not realistic. Perhaps extending the shadow to meet the reflection would appease my eye.

Hi E

yeah and the building would not show in the reflection of the car - its impossible :)
The car is blocking it.

i would also remove the red in the tires it doesnt match the overall colour.

Nice collage The only thing I would add is the lighting on the car doesn't seem to match the lighting in the rest of the image, the car seems too dark. To me the source of light for the image would indicate it was coming from the right side at a high angle based on the shadows coming off the columns on the building.

Very nice concept!

Hello can you post or send me the steps you took to do this ,I am a beginner and would like to learn this technique.I really like the photo...
thank you

Normae, Welcome to RetouchPRO!

Wow, that is a tall order. To post a tutorial of the steps taken to achieve this effect would take pages and pages and, if you are a beginner, you'd be lost at about step 3. I suggest you start simple by working on compositing 2 simple images rather than something like Ed's 4 image composite. Search the tutorials here for terms like compositing, extracting background etc. and learn the terms and steps to do an easy graphic.

Like the photo...but I was thinking this would be a nice addition for Swamp...

Heee Heee, Skydoggie!!! I love it! :-) Thanks for thinking of me and my Seminoles!

Hi there. Just decided to share my heaven photo too, since its collecting virtual dust in the harddisk, and because i guess i need to be a bit more active here at the forums. I could use an nice blue car like that one in heaven too.
