About the Image(s)

This old Pull-Sieve Grip tractor was at a Steam Up, with all those people enjoying it lumber by and would probably go about 5 mph at full speed, but could pull a many section plow in the field. It has a one cylinder engine that could probably run on kerosene when hot, if started on gasoline. Using Photoshop, I had to add the dragster back wheels, tilt the whole thing up, add the nitro flame out of the exhaust and add all the burning rubber smoke. The hardest part was the 3D, see through smoke and getting the new shadow to appear as being on the roadway.

Cool, I like the added features.   Posted: 09/11/2019 09:25:22



 
You did a good job with the smoke and shadow; they look natural. You have good depth of field with the row of people in the background.   Posted: 09/14/2019 15:24:30

Great job. Burning rubber smoke and shadow look so natural. The image has nice depth, good lighting and sharpness. A little more space in front of the tractor would look better.   Posted: 09/16/2019 13:42:01

I wanted to put a set of drag racing start lights on the right side, but I couldn't find any that were the right perspective. All though, I think that was all there was on the right of the image I took.   Posted: 09/16/2019 15:44:16

Nice depth and color, and a very interesting subject. I love the steering column.
...Does it run on Diesel, or nitro top fuel?   Posted: 09/26/2019 08:37:10

You have undertaken a large amount of work on this and it has paid off, you have created an image that looks realistic and that is always the difficult thing to do   Posted: 09/28/2019 08:37:10
