Well I didn't want to insult anyone, but simply upping the contrast is a cheap and easy way to "stylize" a picture, the same goes with adding a sepia tone or merely applying a filter. There are lots of better things you can do if you invest time into your Photoshop work.
Of course if you like the style that's perfectly fine, but I'm interested in the more involved stuff. The picture with the added rain was pretty cool.

Well, I have to admit in the Night S2000 Pic I used the lens flare, even though I applied on another layer and adjusted opacity and levels so it will look better.
Aaaaand, also adjusted contrast, Curves, Color Balance, applied some noise, Saturation, Shadows/Highlights and applied a High Pass Filter, I believe also applied Variations..
we might not be a Pro, but hey we're doing our best

It's all good bro, I like how you used the flare subtly because in most cases it stands out like a punch in the face. I would recommend saving the pictures at a higher jpg quality though, if you look at the sky in your image it's got some artifacts due to being saved at a lower quality. Assuming you're using Photoshop, quality 10 should be fine.

If it's night time, you should get rid of the shadows from the trees 
Also, the dirt placement is patchy and repeating. The backfire should be super bright since it's at night. Try duplicating that layer a couple times and in those duplicates, give them an Add blending mode.

damage...just tuned it a little bit.
I guess there's another reason why PD didn't make the damage so realistic.
Seeing one of the best super car ever built getting destroyed like that is pretty sad. Even if it's just a video game.

little heavy on the contrast there bud. Adding insane amounts of contrast and a bit of darkness to a picture does NOT make it look more realistic.

Ya that is better. Glad you took that as constructive! I can sit here all day long and look through this thread when people post stuff and give criticism. I have an artistic eye for that kind of stuff. I work in the 3D field so I kind of have to

Feel free to constructively criticize this, but as before bear in mind that I lost Photoshop and this is done with Pixelmator which is kinda terrible in comparison. Plus, I want to see if anyone can tell what I've done with the cars at the back... it's so subtle I don't think anyone will guess.

Close, and a very good idea, but that's not the intention
Well, besides the Sun flare, I cant recognize whatever you've done to it
Oh, and by the way, how are the pics I uploaded?
Edit: looking more detailed, I can see the road line is not perfect anymore, and the cars are a little bit Blurred? their shape looks quite different, is that maybe Heat distortion?

Yes! It's heat! It's quite hard doing something like that because if you want to make people see it, you have to do it so much that it's obviously just been Photoshopped, so you have to keep it low and risk them not noticing at all.
Your pictures are nice, but it'll be easier to see what you've done if you can link to the original images

Maybe it's not what i'm looking for. In fact i think that realistic picture are often boring but that's just my point of view.
And I don't think i added insane amount of contrast to that picture compare to the original
let's have a look : http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/2458/toscanatarmac.jpg
Do you have the original version of it so I can take a look for myself?
