OK - so found a shot of my car from some time ago in raw format. Messed about in photoshop a bit ended up like http://www.green-machine.eu/images/RawShot.jpg - comments? Think ive got too much saturation?

PS Intercooler wasnt in original shot - so took it from a later photograph - does it look like it should be there? Somtimes I get the feeling the more I work on something the more everything looks normal, although to a fresh eye may not.

That looks cool.

There is a bit of noise on the front bumper, as if it has been in the shade and has been lightened in PS, but could just be from the camera. (in which case, make sure you're shooting in a low ISO)
Also, it looks as if the background blur has been added in PS, making it look like the 'Tilt Shift' effect.

The saturation on the car looks good, background is possibly a little strong, but that might just be my monitor.

The intercooler looks natural and the car is definatly the main focus of the photo

I'm by no means an expert at all, these are just the first thoughts I had when I saw the photo

The background blur is a bit much for me but other than that is a decent shop.

I quite like it, you got a link to the original at all?

It's easier to appreciate when you know what it used to be imo

The 'creases' (level with the top of the IC on either side) - the passenger's side doesn't come in as much as driver's, makes it look wierd to me.

But that's coming from me who's greatest experience with anything like this is in MS paint.

EDIT: just realised it was like that in the original maybe just the way the light's hitting it?
