no problem , it's nothing special for me to help i used to do this a lot
i have always put in effort to help in the past (digimods for instance), these days not as much as back in the days but since i got on autemo the drive to help has come back because this community is serious about chopping
..
i mean i can relate to nordic because i have been in that position myself but ... oh well
but on the other hand dont feel offended 80% of the people wont really use advice and thats narural , they want to go at it themselfs or just dont see what people mean
now he got demoted and he really see's people saying the same things and is happy with help
i dont know what the deal was off-course but .....
what would really help now imo .. = image adjustments > change color > pick the darkest blue in the picture and downtone the contrast a tiny tiny bit or mabe the colo opacity
then the colors would be a tad more mild and that also looks more realistic
you could also do this after your done brushing on the body ..
also try google and serch for fence > picket fence etc etc and find a good pic with a low fence , then you could place that on the edge of the tarmac between the far bg and front to make the suggestion even stronger the car is on a hill
this bg is perfect for great detailing
also search skid marks and find a good skidmark donor overlay that on the surface (need trying and tweaking) and it looks like the car was having fun there , or some vehicles before this shot was taken ....
here i made the color less saturated and drkened the pic a tad , see how it's more easy to the eye ??
i would also brush the wells black (no wheels in there) and just search for new wheels (tryres and rims) witch fit perfect , have great quality and already got a good angle ..
then you can work on the shade before the rim comes in ..
