Nice extraction. Is speed appropriate?

Nice extraction.

For some reason I can't quite put my finger on, the right front of the car doesn't seem to sit into the background properly. The shadow beneath just looks wrong somehow.

I agree with the shadow comment by Gary. I think you did a great job with the overall new shading and reflection to the body. The problem is that now the main light source that's coming from the upper right hand corner of the image is stronger than the ambient source and the shadow shouldn't extend beyond the edge of the tire. The car looks a bit levitated as opposed it's stood solidly on the floor. Nice work on the car, though.
