Baz as there are is no exif i cant see whether the blurring is photoshop induced or DOF from the camera setting. It looks a bit artificial to me but i am not sure. The reason is the door at the side of the photo is almost in focus but the roof directly above isnt as sharp (on my monitor anyway)

Good points-like the cars, like the angle of the shot, personal opinion only but i would have liked to see more of the whole photo in focus showing the Haynes sign e.t.c.

Nice one overall

Hi Barry, have to agree with Dennis, doesnt quite work for me, looks like a couple of model cars, shopped in ...shame, as they are stunning motors, from an interesting angle

apologies for the exif, i used save for web to get the file smaller, the DOF is lens shift tilt method in PS, i can post the original but cant work out how to add more photos to a thread? thanks for the feedback keep it coming :-)

Baz

you can add it to a reply as an attachment if you choose reply and go advanced, it does have to conform to 800mm longets and 150k though. I usually resize then save as and when the slider comes up move til file size is 250k or less this then preserves the exif

Tiis reminds me of an article I read a few weeks back on how to make street scenes look like models, and if this is the effect you were going for then you've got it almost spot on!
