About the Image(s)
I enjoy attending exhibition events, including classic car shows. I come home with many ‘basic’ images but each individual image does not reflect the variety and magnitude of the event. After a recent car show in Boca Raton, I made a collage by compositing many of the cars on display. I tried some different variations, but decided to make this one all the front grills and headlights.
The execution is time consuming, but straightforward, with detailed selections and masking out edges. A gradient map helped even out the coloring and contrast. I am pretty satisfied with it, other than the ‘floating car’ in the lower center. I might adjust that in a future version. Let me know what you think about possible variations (i.e., more detail close ups, more background, etc.)
