I figured if you guys liked the old edit, then you guys would like this edit more.



For comparison, here is the old edit:


Update:

 

New edit: Car looks dusty

Like the old edit better.

 

Yeh, that's just from shooting with a high ISO.

But if you pay attention to details, the new edit is much cleaner.

Hint: taillights, rear window, top edges of buildings, sky, etc.

 

Nice, its like a new picture with all the details, the reflection on the left body panels, the tire tread. Hy Calvin you sure this is the same photo?

 

the original still does it for me, there's too much reflection off the body in the new edit. Still a sick pic nontheless.
-GP-

 

^^^that can easily be "fixed", but i'd rather not because you lose detail in the body and tires.

also, minimizing reflection is always great. but some reflection is needed, IMO, otherwise the image just looks flat.

 

yea damn sky and buildings and taillights look mad cleaner and brighter sir...nice ishhh

 

that's what i liked about the original so much, the car looked flat and it was different than any other picture that you, or myself for that matter, have ever taken.
-GP-

 

Yeah, the OG pic is the tightest one of the two

 

yeah i agree, the second one looks better for this one

 

you guys don't notice the messy building tops at all on the original edit? the car is the second edit is exposed so much better. from the taillights to the rear window.

wow.

 

Here's my take...



I think O Rly did a great job with his edits.

Photomatix is a great tool for creating vibrant, stylized photos, but when I want to have a bit more control, I go in manually and work with a bunch of layers and play with their attributes. Also, I like using the dodge and burn brushes. The grain was due to the high iso, like o rly mentioned.

 

i like the new one better but both are sick...

 

+1 for the original here.

 

I definitely like the new one better! Much more crisp!
