Comments appreciated (my photoshop effort)
Discussion
Thanks
Yeah I took the photo last week on MiniHoon (the building is the hotel for the final night, and the car is Rods').
How would I go about straightening up the verticals?
I understand what you are saying about it needing to be big...on my monitor here I was quite pleased, but now all minimised once on this post it looks somewhat dwarfed, and needs more subject I think!?!

Mrs_Fish...the original.
I was trying to get the car as the focal point being drawfed by the building, but in that above it ends up looking lost
I'm really new to photoshopping so if you have any thoughts on what else I could have done with the picture - it'd be great to hear (or see) your comments
Thanks guys!

I straightened the building as per above, but first I cut out and copied the car and put it as a new layer so it wouldn't get changed.
I then went to IMAGE - ADJUST - DESATURATE to make the background b&W and also used the brightness contrast to brighten it up a bit.
Also did that to the car and also artificially lightened it a bit using the dodge tool, but leaving the car in colour.
I like what you've done in Photoshop but have to add another vote for taking the original with the car facing into the picture. The purpose of composing an image like that is to lead your eye into the picture so that you enjoy the whole thing in a natural fashion, at the moment with the car in the bottom corner and facing outwards your eye gets dragged out of the picture without properly looking at the building too - you have to force yourself to look in to it.
