First timer...criticism needed...

So...these are a few of my first photoshops. It wasn't easy to learn the ways, but in time I started to develop my talents.

I'm posting these up because I would like some criticism from you fellow PSers. I'm not nearly as experienced as any of you here, so I wanted to see where I can improve. I will note that I'm still learning with wheels, it's not an easy thing to do. I would hope that I can get some tips from a few of you here. Thanks in advance.

1st vehicle: 69 Camaro. Simple overlay on body and wheels.
2nd vehicle: 07 Silverado. Headlights, body, emblem, wheels.

looks really good for your first but the camaro looks a little overdone on the paint it just looks a little bit to metalic lol other than that looks awsome keep practicing!

Thanks!! Yeah, I've gotten a few comments wondering about the paint. Meh, I guess it's just artists taste, right? lol.

Photoshopping is pretty fun, time consuming, but really fun.

try to stay away from using to much saturation in the paintjob.. usea little less then mess with the curve and the brightness/contrast. Too much saturation leads to unrealistic paint appearence.

i actually like the camaro
i wish my paint could look like that.
it is a bit too metallic looking though
kinda looks like a RC car from a toy store lol.
good work

Yes I agree it looks "unreal" but I think from an artistic point of view that metallic red is really hot! Very eye catching, and I love the way it brings out the shadow reflection of the trees.

I would also consider removing the telephone pole and wires so the focus is really on the Camero.
