A bit of tampering on PhotoShop ... to blur out the upper left-hand corner. A bit of NeatImage, too ...

Thumb-up Thumb-up    from thomaspaine/Thomas (202) Send mail to this user on April 5, 2004 8:16:01 PM CDT (1) Early critique

I have always been fascinated with reflections on cars. I especially enjoy what you have done here. I feel that the blurring in the upper-left is overdone however. It gives the car a sense of motion which contradicts the stillness of the reflection. I find it very distracting. I would also be curious to see what the photo would look like with a little of the lower right cropped out.

I feel that two thumbs is fair, but find the photo distracting with the headlamp or the wind screen reflection. As PhotoShop has been used, I would have given a three thumbs if the headlamp was not included or if the wind screen had been "melted" in focus. Nice effect which might have been really enhanced had a complimentary "reflection" been placed within the headlamp.

this image is ok. although I wouldn't have blurred it out, the other thing is that the image is just too "full". leaving more space on the left and upper side would give the Golf more "air" - you know a car has to move. this seems to be caught by the picture. do you know what I mean? what do you think about it?

I think you like cars more than I do ... you don't forget that without the Golf there would be no reflection, and I don't want to see anything but the reflection ... which means that I would love to see your own treatment of a similar subject, as it would certainly be very different from mine ... and would do the car justice ...
