[SPHFerrari]

[werty]

but why did u make it blue?
i didnt, it was origianlly reflecting the blue sky, all i did was edit the contrast and saturation to make it look a bit darker, i think its kinda cool :)

[SPHFerrari]

i think the white balance is way off.

[werty]

i think the white balance is way off.

spent about 10 mins on it, consisted of 5 layers, using levels adjustments, contrast, saturation, clone stamp, USM, and some careful work with the eraser.

Well the driver managed to keep the car straight, which was somewhat of a miracle. At the end of the Monza straight they made a chicane, but the old track is still there, so he could just go straight on until it came to a stand still.

i dont think high contrast changes should be allowed because you can do too much to a picture when raising the contrast like that. if high contrast changes are allowed ill jump on the bandwagon and use it.
