Not bad!If you want to help the realism a little bit, you might try adding a shadow under the car on the road- this establishes where the car is sitting (otherwise it could look like it is floating)That's just me as a graphic designer though... I use Photoshop professionally!

So it's the Vibe that's photoshopped?

insert old *car is where in the picture* joke.but overall, not bad. i do agree that it looks like the car is floating there, but i have no idea how change that. my photoshop/GImp skills are horrible. took me forever to get multiple images to blend together into one long 180* panoramic.

Lighting looks way off. The road is in a partially shaded area and hood and windshield area is lit up too much. But really who wants to look at the Vibe anyways

I was waiting for one of these commentsAnd yeah, as a girl, the hot chick doesn't bother me at all, my only question is "why is a woman in a bikini standing on a road in the middle of a forest?????"I also agree that the lighting is off on the car compared to the rest of the picture, as is the perspective (there's no way it could actually be sitting on the road at that angle) but things like that are almost impossible to fix "in post" and I figured the OP wasn't too concerned about such things when doing a random just-for-fun photoshop.

"Why is there a hot chick in the middle of the road?????????"I can tell you have not been to Tampa, Florida where they stand in the slow lane of the road selling Florida citrus. In Denmark, they use the same tactic to slow traffic down on certain streets. Both are highly effective. I'll never speed while drinkiing orange juice ever again!!!!!

Lots of designers here lol. In that case I have to admit... I HATE photoshop. There I said it. I only use it quick and dirty so that I can get my pics in and out and back into Illustrator or InDesign lol.But yeah, the light on the Vibe is coming from the front of the car, where as in the background it seems to be coming from behind the girl and down the road a ways. It's ridiculously hard to get things like that to look right when meshing images together, I would try to find a pic of the Vibe that better matches the lighting conditions and the viewing angle for that road.

i keep looking at these posts saying to take the picture over again and then re-photoshop/GImp it. guess it's my years of photography work that i'm thinking it's easier to just capture the darn thing again. i'm sure it's not hard to get to that location. heck, the subject got there once so i'm sure she can get there again with a vibe this time. xDD
