Juguar XJ-13

Here is a tripled layer HDR of a replica of an old Jaguar XJ-13. The motor is just so cool.

Caution Tech Stuff: The original HDR was pretty flat and what I liked in some parts I hated in others. So I processed the HDR composite as 2 different versions. I then loaded the 2 different versions into PhotoShop. After adding a mask I hand painted out everything I didn't like from one of the two versions. I doubled the layer of the darker version and added them together using Overlay. I also used an adjustment layer to darken and pull back some of the saturation. I then finished the engine with a Curves layer and a little sharpening. I like it...
