Love the background change, Love the rims on the middle NSX, not so much on the others, and I think it would look better with only one Acura logo...all in all an awesome background....

OK. I agree with the Acura logo comments. I changed it. The wheels I have less control over because it is hard to find a clean side shot of a car with nice wheels. I did the best I could with that one

I suppose I could put the RonJons on all of them, but then it would really look like a chop. Anyways, if I get more time I'll check on some more wheels. If not, then I get to here more about how ugly the wheels are.

^^ see, I disagree. the shadows are already casted by an apparent lightsource that is directly in front of the vehicles (not the sun). This can be the case in a night shot as well (as in a photoshot). Especially in front of the Bellagio.

The color balance is off, though, in your photoshop. Pull blue out of the original image and crush the blacks a little more. Add a touch of yellow and see what you get.

Defocus the background, just a touch, in order to creat some shallow depth.

You mak be able to fake this.

I actually like the rims on the left...kinda similar to lambo rims. The middle ronjons are nice, and the right are meh (I don't like black rims on a blue car). If they were on the yellow it would look better.

I did try that first but I had to put those rims in the background because the resolution of them weren't good enough for the front car.
