my pmc winner

btw, an awesome shot alex, love the light trail. was that at George Paris?
 
Duplicate layer > Smudge in lighter mode > Do it

Probably you'll need to adjust the layer opacity for a better effect :D
 
Copy the taillights to new layer > Motion-blur it with many layers > Merge then cut it half
If you want shaky-hand style, smudge the trail :)

Nice one Alex 👍
 
Beautiful and technically brilliant shot as always alex, I have thought about doing that for a long time, should try it sometime.

Impressive shot from atlop too, it good to see you still entering so many competitions atlop. Loved so many of your shots and they are consistently high quality. 👍
 
FINAL ENTRY!

Not what it should be, lots of things left to improve on :) I think franz knows where I got my inspiration from on this one :P






*BTW* The image itself is 400X300, but there is a larger canvas used for the shadow, let me know of that's a problem :cheers:
 
Thanks Swiss and TW!

I hope it's ok, the 3D effect is brilliant! As is the whole photo! 👍
 
Wait a second now fellas!

I really do appreciate all the comments, but I don't think my entry is good enough to even have a winning chance. I'm not even statisfied with it, but I can't be bothered to make an all new entry :)

It is a very good shot. Incredible, even though the colours on the car look a little bit pastel/gloss, instead of shinny/metallic/reflection. But is a good shot and edit, nevertheless 👍 👍

Indeed, but there were a lot of different reflections which made it hard for me to see how to smudge them out, some of them were really horrific when I started :ill:
 
you got my vote man, thats exacty what I wanted to see reflection wise. The lighting is fantastic, you are the lighting king after all. great stuff man! 👍
 
I don't have any access to GT4 for a while because its at my mom's house and I'm staying at my dad's for a while.:( Soo I had to dig up an old pic and edit it.

Final Entry

EDIT: Entry changed.
