Hey, This is great. How did you get the lights to look so realistic? The rain and lightening does also. I like the many colors in it even though it is suppose to be night. I'm intrigued by this. you did a wonderful job. #906461

Thank you Aggie !! :) I wanted it to be like early evening. I did not want the car to be in the dark, because of the detail of age. I kept going back and forth with it. I know when I print it I will brighten it up a bit because it will come out to dark. This one was inspired by a challenge on another forum. It was Spring Clean up. I gave my car an evening shower :) The rain was done with a default brush and then blurred and played with to make it look more realistic. The lights were not easy because I had to get a halo in the front of the car to make it more real. I also added some fog in the front and had the light shine on it. It does not show very well on BP though. #5829792

Paola, this is so well thought out. I've never created rain, and you've inspired to me give it a try sometime. Is the rain done on a separate layer? Yes I can see you put some fog in front of the lights. Again, this is very well done and artistic. #5830603

Very dramatic capture, It conveys this dreadful feeling when your car breaks down in a deserted place in really bad weather. You've got great talent Paola! How about "Waiting for Rescue" as title ~ just a thought. #5833042

"Revived" came to mind after looking at this photo... you've taken a junker and given it a new life in this photo already.... but then in the image, through the dusk... an old car gets a fresh wash in the rain... and voila! He feels energized... so much so he's gotta flash those lights a few times, lol. Sorry, carried away!!! But it's brilliant work Paola :-) #5938787
