Default First time photoshop , what do you think ?

Go easy as this is my first go at this sort of thing , I took this of my car and added the graffiti just to make it look cool . Just wondered what you think and for the guys who use photoshop often please point out my faults .

Looks pretty good to me!

I would maybe have used a smaller brush over the bonnet as it looks like it has a bit of a fuzzy edge?

for a first attempt well done

Oops , I guess I spent that much time on the background I forgot about it , I have another pic under that bridge but I'm struggling with anything that isn't a straight on shot , I'm using photshop elements 8 , bought it off eBay for about 20 or 30 quid just to play about with .

think carefully when using feathered brushes, because you end up with a halo (which you have a slight one around the car) and could do with some adjustment to mid tones to make the image a shade darker. But it is an excellent 1st attempt

must add been using Photoshop for 11yrs (6yrs professionally in a photolab)
