Quick picture of my talon, bad foreground?

[blcknspo0ln]

I'm not sure if the foreground looks good with the big shadow

I'm no expert, but I don't like the shadow. Can you photoshop just that part lighter?

 

[LongJonSilver]

yea way too dark im pretty sure you can edit that in photoshop

 

[xdxoxuxgx]

Yeah, make it a little lighter. The contrast is too drastic against your white bumper.

 

[nice97civic]

the shadow isnt really hurting the photo but overall the photo looks underexposed.

Hey black...I think the shadaow makes the white bumper POP.. Also I am no photo expert, but do enjoy a good photo...

I masked the shadows and tried to lighten them up, but it adds a ton of noise and doesn't look natural AT ALL. I even tried to do a 'copy&paste' method of some good lit asphalt and it looks like that's the best bet. Unfortunately that takes a lot of time and I'm not sure I want to do that because I don't know if its calendar entry quality.

ninja edit: I forgot to save the original file with the foreground mods ugh, here goes another 30 min of editing.

Tom, I'm on the fence about the photo. When I look at the picture, the bottom left corner doesn't even seem to be there because of how black it is. It does contrast with your bumper and FMIC nicely, but doesn't seem to fit with how sunny it is in the background. And that corner seems to match the color of the hood and just makes it look darker that it should be.

I say you go shoot some more and try for something better. If you're still doubting it after editing it for a while, you'd be better off editing something that was better from the start.

The shadow makes a depth, car looks like it's about to go off a cliff.. It just has an odd balance.
If there was a longer section of that infront of the car, I think it would even it out. Or if it was lighter

I still like the pic in front of Firestone better as a calendar entry. And it's my current background.

I have always like your car man, one of my fav talons. Nice pics

 

[No_Skillz]

I think your car is crap overall and you should sell it (to me).

Who cares about a shadow. Your car is beyond beautiful.

Damn this pic looks badass!

Do you have any high-res of your dsm?

 

[bartels903]

Your car is sex no matter what the picture looks like.

 

[snowborder714]

Just submit them both!

I can't decide though. The 1st picture shows more of the car, but overall is just a good picture. The 2nd shows just a head-on shot, but is a great picture with a nice angle and framing.

 

[prostreetdsmx1]

looks like a car i'd make in Forza. looks good buddy.

 

[blcknspo0ln]
