My one suggestion, and I'm not trying to be the jerk to sour the mood, but I'd superimpose the car pics on background in which the lighting of both pictures agree with one another. Some of the pictures original's have backlighting casting glare and shadows on parts of the car that the backgrounds clash with. I can't help but notice it first, I guess its the designer in me. Some nice work though

We have a critic. I always tell a critic to put up or shut up. You talk a game of trying this and seeing faults in anothers work. Show us your work, the public will decide yea or nea . The public has spoken on Hazmans work and I have not seen a nea ,only yeas . Most critics are ones who could not make it in there chosen profession.

Hazman offers a great service to those who can not do this type of work. And for Free. That takes up alot of Hazmans time. He gives it freely to the forum. Hazman, you keep on doing what so many of us have come to enjoy here. Seeing LX's in a wonderful artistic light.

Wow, I am speechless. I sent Hazman a personal thank you PM. I told him that as a Custom Home Builder, I have always loved the shape, design of the Sydney opera house. For him to put my 300 in front of it, was a special treat indeed. To all my Aussie Mates, I hope you are enjoying FreebirdSRT in front of one of your most beautiful landmarks. The Sydney Opera House.

Thanks Hazman.

I need to take a GREAT pic of Silvia, and see if HAZ can do some magic with her.

This is a pic of Freakyshiat's car, which I fell in love with before I bought an SRT8 (I ended up buying the same color and similar wheels).
Anyway, here is the original:


And after I played with it in Photoshop until my wife turned a hose on me


Not nearly as elegant as your work... I just like this stuff.

I think Freakyshiat has added me to his "blocked members" list

Keep up the great work! You are an inspiration

Nice work! I like the speed look, isnt photoshop fun.

I commended Haz on his dedication to hook people up on the forum, and I'm not saying his work is garbage. It's not easy to take two pictures taken with completely different lighting conditions and blend them into one. I don't know where his passion for graphics arts came from, so I gave the suggestion to match back lit source pictures with back lit background, and vise versa. People took it as me saying he sucks and he should stop, clearly not the case. Football is soon to be on, destiny awaits

Ture Dat. I know you were offering up some friendly artistic advice. But I feel if each artist did the same thing, it would get repetitive and boring. I like seeing each artists, touch of the canvas, through there eyes. For us mere mortals who have trouble with stick figures. Seeing someone master an artistic talent is to be admired. I look forward to seeing your work and how you interperet it to our canvas in cyberspace.

Oh and enjoy the football games today. Go Saints
