This allows what you want darker to stay like that, then the flowers in the dark areas to "pop"

I liked the second one the most, it helped get the true color of the flower.


And I really need to get a photoshop soon.

What you think Ichi?

Those look fantastic with dramatic effect.
I prefer second though.

B&W the second one? The whole thing or just BG?

That last one Ichi, with the b/w background looks awesome! Lower the exposure or Gamma to make it a tad darker on the back and it will look magnifiqo!

Edit: oh and that little rock pebble thing in front of the rear wheel - its bugging the hell out of me

I would love to see B/W on the whole thing. It might not work well with a red car, but why not give it a try? Adjust the contrast and brightness to make it more dramatic.

Not a photographer, but love snapping pictures of cars (sorry for the thumbnails, but the originals are way to big and dont feel like resizing)

Like this?

Ha. I think the first edited picture you did with red car and BW out background works way better.
It just makes the car pop. I think BW only works very well on White cars.

Yeah, B&W is really hard to do.
