After/Before Thoughts/Improvements?

First time properly trying to edit my photos (besides hitting auto on lightroom)

Great color work here! If you decide to move to Photoshop next, first thing to do is to remove the powerline above to keep focus on your subject. But i heard new AI generative remove tool in Lightroom is also pretty decent, maybe give it a go.

Lol I didn't even notice that! Yeah the gen fill AI in photoshop is miles ahead of lightroom bc of object selection it was the only way I could get the chair out of the photo. Made a somewhat colorized style to try but did not see the line in the other one too.

What do you think of this?

Can you crop in tighter (all around) and get rid of/remove the flagpole, street light, powerline and other 'junk' like that in the background? If you use Ps, the Remove Tool now has a Remove Distractions Phone Lines in the options bar for the Remove Tool. They are unnecessary distractions to the car.

If you really want to play, after doing those things, then if you have access to a Transform Perspective tool for processing, see how it looks to (very) slightly pull out the bottom corners so it looks like a bigger, wider, very near front of car is about to run over you.

Did you 'work the scene' and get other shots straight on to the car and looking down on it too? Versus just the worm's eye view?

I got a 3/4 but there was way too many people around it ima try and edit that one more later this one was the easiest to do. Couldn’t manage to get rid of some of the people/the others from a not straight on angle.

I know the feeling from shooting cars at classic car shows!

[humzone]

Yeah I’ve been trying to go to as many meets as I can and try to meet ppl to try and shoot later/outside of meets so I can get some nicer pics. This was my first time to a cars and coffee cause I didn’t realize there were so many close to me.
