Thanks guys...The JD bottle was the main focus, and the very frst pic I started with...I guess I over accaentuated it a bit....Doesn't look as bad in the psd file, still to bright though, exporting it made it stand out even more. Thanks for the feedback I really appreciate it :D

It seems the Contrast is too high. It grainy in some areas. Other than that it's pretty good.

[UNFLUX]

personally, I think you did a fantastic job! The only picture I can't find is the car, but it doesn't matter. I love this adam, good stuff :thumb:

[Voetsjoeba]

Sweet ! Great combination of the pics :)

[Adam]

Thanks Dj...can you tell me which spots look grainy to you?...I was going for that effect on the walls, but maybe it's too much?...or is there somewhere else that looks not so good?

Thanks again :)

Cool Adam. Have you got anything else to showcase? I like your style.


- Get me a John Daniels.
- You mean Jack Daniels?
- When you've known him for as long as...Hehehe. That's Al Pacino in Scent of a Woman.

Thanks...Unlfux and Voets...wow, you gus were typing while I was responding to Dj...Unflux, the car is in the bg in front of the house..it's looks so much nicer and obvious, in the psd file. Thanks!! And Voets, thank you...the idea came from the fact that I have close to 60 empty JD bottles in my basement in hopes of one day building a bar out of them....well not totally out of bottles ;) I thought it might be cool to try to make a picture for behind the bar, the psd file is 8x10...Jack Daniels always give me that "old south" feel...Thanks both of you for your encouragement :D

WHOOOWAAHH!!!
Fancy test driving that Ferrari, Adam? Lol

Woah, that pic is freaky... ;)

[Adam]

yeah, g/f loved it too...wanted me to print it out so she could put it on the fireplace...lol

[CanadianGuy]

Nice work Adam. I really like it. The perspective and lighting of everything is excellent (aside from the JD)

[Adam]

Thanks CG, I used your tip on the lighting effects on nearly everything in the picture..and yeah, the JD...I was going to try to fix it, but in the final version of the psd file, I merged everything...don't ask me why...the version before that that I had saved doesn't have the chair in it :( I saved 21 versions of it along the way to make sure I didn't mess anything up...but not one is the finished version that I can work with...live and learn I guess....thanks again.

Hey adam it's mostly on the dresser. See what I mean. The colors almost look washed out. I guess I shouldn't have said grainy. Although it is on the left wall. Shoulda said washed out instead ;). But do you see what I mean?

[Adam]

Yeah, I had a hard time with the dresser...I wasn't totally happy with it when I did it, but due to my inexperience, I didn't know how to get it to look how I wanted...I'm gonna see if I can fix things up...and maybe take out some of the graininess on the wall too..thanks, Dj.
