I am going car crazy

Call it the expo hangover.
I am trying to modify the pics in weird ways.
The first step always is to clone out lots of people, which leads to funny looking images. But some crazy PP makes things better(atleast to my eye)

I like how you see this image, except for a couple of minor things.
The black line all alone on the right hand side of the image.
Whatever it is that you can see when you look inside the car at the rear windscreen.
The small section of the door in the wall behind the car to the left.

Nice going Tsk1979 .... Skippy

I left those things there because of 2 reasons
1. It was very very difficult removing the door stuff(the line on the right is okay)
2. My other phaeton shot which is just the car with all white around it looked flat to people who thought just the car and nothing else makes the shot boring
Here's that shot, and it was done at the same section of the expo(VW)

you need a tablet..it would make erasing out the door stuff a breeze.. nice shot though.

Those are awesome! How do you ever cancel out the background like that?

I like the chrome and black of the original. My first experience with a Passat was in Germany where, i found out, on a ski trip, it was the universal understanding that when the driver gets pulled over for speeding, everyone in the car pulls out bucks to cover the ticket, and the poletzie walk away with the fine. I was broke, in Austria, and everyone expected me to pull out $19 US for my share. The lady to my right said, 'I got it". Europe on the cheap sucks when you are riding in a Passat!

I used cloning and paintbrush combination first, and then did some crazy diffuse effects.

4. Cropping and curves adjustment
