A lot of of cars being made over and put into new backgrounds lately - with beautiful results - Ray is the master and here's my attempt at it, using my wife's 1975 beetle superbug as my "model".
C&C welcome

Nice job- the background and foreground look like it could be Ray's. I would bring out the car a little more, to match the colorfulness of the rest of the image, though.
kinda like this.

I think you have done a fantastic job.....

If you wanted, you could bring the car out just a little more as already suggested.

I think it is great though.

Best wishes

Ray
 
Thanks for the comments & the re-do - it surely looks more vibrant - great idea.
Yes, it's the same as what Ray uses - love it.
The visitor? - also great - but scary - like it.
Thanks again

much appreciated - especially coming from the Master himself.
Yes I agree with the more vibrant color - great.

Thanks for your tut on this Ray - I first battled downloading it - but eventually managed - thanks for sharing - your'e a star!!!
Of the bit I know of PS, a lot of it, I've learnt from U - thanks for that!!!!!

best regards

thanks for the comments - I always look at your cars as well - you do GREAT work on them!!! - keep it up!!

I'll do some more , but will be away for a while to 2 Oct - going on a BIG adventure - doing a 160km (100miles) hike in our beautiful country.
Thanks Bob

Thanks Andre, The "visitor" was an attempt to inject a little humor--kind if a juxtaposition. I realize it didn't belong!!
The alligator was a shot from my month long trip to Florida, in February.
Also, If you intended the" Beetle" to look original--you nailed it!!
Buzz
 
yes it IS original - we bought it brand spanking new in 1975 - prize was $367 WOW!!!!

it is a "superbug" with 1600cc capacity and still going STRONG - nothing like it!!!

That sure was a bargain!! Looks pretty good for its age. I can remember when the Beetles were $1500 new!!! I doubt you could get a used Yugo for $1500 now., that is, if you could find one.
Buzz
 
it sure is not like the pictures some of you guy's do, but it is the best I could do in in the time I had available. I really had a hard time finding a better background then the one I used here.

Nice man - to find nice bg's, just google eg wallpapers - something like space art or fantasy art - it's mostly a frustrating "hit & miss" thing.

I'll have a look tonight if I can find the one I was uising on the beetle and post the link here

looking at the picture on my work monitor, that the colors are all off and the image is far to dark, I did this on my laptop and I think the calibration is totally off on that one.
