My first photoshop

Hi this is my first chop.
I know there are lots of mistakes like the gray near the rear.
I did the smoke first instead of the paint first.
Uhm what else...yeah I know the blur is kind of gay.
Oh well.

All comments are welcome.

exept the mistake you said its ok, keep practicing!

*whisper* here's a hint.. for your first chop, work on just changing the color. Get good at that, then go for the crazy stuff. You also forgot to blur the "smoked" area, which it looks like you just turned grey and erased around.. try using the render smoke filter in photoshop, or the picture tube in paintshop. Gives you much more realistic results. Erase your duplication where you dropped it, and if a pic is blurred, the whole pic is blurred or just the car body is blurred, or the car body is in focus and the background is blurring... there's not a "blur aura" around the car. The smoke would also cover that part of the rear quarter panel that's in focus. And it should be blurred, as well.

Overall, not bad. Study non-edited drift/burnout/action photos to get a feel for when and where to blur.

I agree w/ ^^^^^^^
looks good for a n00b tho........
