If anyone else knows how to upload this RAW please let me do so. My internet is happy to upload at 60kb/s!

Anyway here is my attempt and i wanna see how else you can improve this picture i took of my car.

Horizon is a bit wonky

Normally i'm ok but I can't put a standard bonnet on it. Sorry

Depends what you want from it, really. This is sort of what I'd do for a standard method of processing (though this screen isn't calibrated at the moment). I'd personally also crop it down so that the car was filling more of the frame and you had less sky. If you wanted you could also clone out the lamp posts without too much issue.

ContrastMaster plug-in for photoshop...addictive to the point of detriment!

Fake photoshop lens blur for-the-win (I didn't cut the car out properly, nor spend much time on it which will probably show

).

The saying "You can't polish a turd springs to mind".

Take some new shots.

Find somewhere interesting to take it, take the photo with the car level but more from the side, oh, and loose the car bra because they are the quickest way to make a car look completely ****!!
