not sure if it turned out better than before or not!! i wanted to make my car be the only bit of colour in the picture, apart from the sky, It looks shit though

and then i wanted it to look a bit mean, so i put most of the colour into the middle of the photo

What am i doing wrong?

do you mean you want your car to stay the same but the rest black and white?

if so cut your car so its another layer then just black and white the back ground?

....

i dont have photoshop i have the photoshop light room, can i still do that?

thats better.could mess all day to be honest but its not really a very exciting photo to start off with ....

Even though you didn't get the result you wanted I think the first picture is really good.

whats a more exciting picture then?

i thought it was quite a good location

its not about the location its the composition. to me the polo is badly situated in the frame. thats why i cropped the second one down.

the car is front on down on the bonnet and shows no form of the car. a worms eye view usually looks good looking up at the front or a slight side 3/4 view would have been better with the wheels turned. composition NOT location, although location helps...

ha ha. fair enough but you get the point. i remember it as far back as when i did gcse art and the teacher would always say ' arrange the fruit in the bowl into a nice composition'

hahaha lmao and the fruit was never real just plastic

this one looks a bit like a polo in the middle of a neuclear attack..

Small but tough

what i do is look around the car and look at certain objects that might go well with the car/look good in the pic then all you do is move the cam about to get the perfect angle that in itself can make the car look better in its location! i really need an SLR

Whats SLR stand for?

its a great photo location.

Whats SLR stand for?

Single lens reflex

todays results

tried to think about composition rather than location this time!

here's my shot @ it is that what you are looking for? or do u want to cahnge the colours of the backround out of there normal colours like blue grass etc?

i just used the staturation tool on paint shop pro 8 and went backwards in the scale, hope this helps

yeah thanks, looks ace :-D

in the picture i took today though i wanted to make it look meaner, like bolder colours. and darker blacks. i must be missing something out tho

Sarah your car would look sweet with a black roof
