Awesome composition, Mark. I like the grunge look and perspective of the corvette specially with those headlights! The colors are really nice and how it is graduated from dark lower to colorful memorabilia in the bg. Excellent processing.

[Judy Howle]

I agree with Indranil. It is a terrific composition and point of view. The memorabilia makes a perfect background. I like the grungy look of your processing.

[Jay Sheinfield]

Awesome is the right word. The corvette headlights and grill are trippy. Even the hood emblem works well. Love this.......................

[Anita Bower]

Wow. Good vision and execution.

[Maureen Allen]

What a fun image! So much to look at.

I love the processing and the grunge look. The swirly license plate bothers me a bit. But maybe I'm just being too orderly :eek:

Thanks, I thought that too but I wanted to obscure the exact plate numbers and didn't like a plain color.

[Andrew McLachlan]

Mark, this is really well done. Love the grunge look!

Mark, I love the processing. The liquify takes this up a notch! Nicely done.
