The guys who's doing cars in this challenge are gonna' hate me for this, sorry :cry guys! But I just had to do Eleanor from 'Gone in 60 Seconds'. It was recently put up for sale here in Vegas @ the Imperial Palace's Auto Collection /Dealership. These are three images put together with an extra layer for the text with the use of optikverve's vr photo, which I recently discovered and acquired this week :1drink. There's some things I still have to sharpen up and stuff, but this is as close to as what I will like to submit.
What do you guys and gals think?

    aaahhhh sweet Eleanor ... but personally I thnk I would prefer the all-around sweetness of the 350 over the brute muscle of the 500.

    Fantastic Car. Brings back memories of hot summer nights driving around town, looking for boys in cool cars. The only thing I could thing of to change on your photo is take a little of the shine out of the driver’s side of the windshield. It seems to be right in the middle of the photo. Other than that it's a really good piece of work.

    When I look at this the one think I want to see is more detail.....I wonder what it would look like a little brighter?

    That said, good job, I like it! Oh, and yes I think it's a good entry, and I don't hate ya. :-)

    Hey thanks for your thoughts. I made the car 'lighter' and removed the glare from the windshield. I made a couple of areas sharper, overall I think it looks much better. Give it a look:
