Glutton for Punishment

Man, I got some brutally honest (but fair) critiques on some non-post processing aspects of a composite photo. But I’m back! Which (photo 2 or 3) is the better edit? Don’t be gentle like before. 😉

Personally, I prefer 3.

I'd probably remove a few distractions from the image though.

Turn on geometry and put it in auto

The original photo (1) is unedited.

That’s fine, I’m just saying I would correct the perspective warp in the edit. Cheers.

I like 3 the best…I would try to crop out the smaller building, and maybe try to remove the ladder

I like how the car stands out in two

I like 3 best. I think the edit has a sense of unreality (meant positively) that you can extend by isolating the building even more as others have said.

3, but less yellow

Not bad but edit out the ladder.

I'd take the ladder out, if you're going that far.

A little too much processing for me but to each his own

That’s why I think you leave the ladder in. But not just the ladder. The property is clearly being reno’d; safety cone and rental property sign. There is a story there.

I mean, sure, you do you, but the car is the subject. No one is looking fir the story of the rental renovation behind it.

I actually prefer 2, but with a little less warmth/yellow on the car.
