highway Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 I just think it is very impressive ... the amount of photoshopping Harry goes to ... just to make this challenging. I mean, I found the original picture and I think Harry worked hard to make this tough, changing the background and touching up little details here and there ... Good job, Harry. WOW, that car is HOT!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Handley Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Kinda reminds me of a Nissan Murano I saw today, probably not too far from where Harry lives either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romell R Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 I could be wrong but this one appears to be real. its a couple of the body lines that give it away that wouldnt appear on a model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry P. Posted August 6, 2010 Author Share Posted August 6, 2010 I had a bad feeling on this one...well done. Now that we know, is there any knowledge of how retouched this photo is? There are several areas that look "worked" to me (for instance...was a license tag digitally removed from the front?) and while I'm not going to claim that alone is what threw me off, there were a lot of things that didn't seem right on this one. Something seems very strange about the front wheel lug area as well. The photo is "as found" except for a slight cropping overall to eliminate some empty background... so no idea on what (if anything) was done to it.

Something seems very strange about the front wheel lug area as well. Photo was from an auction company, instantly I knew this would be a fantastic ROM subject due to the photos that for whatever reason lack the depth of field usually seen on a real car. It also made a good subject because there have been excellent large-scale models of the McLaren. It's not often one finds photos of a real car or model that are so easy to deceive the eyes.

Harry P. Posted August 6, 2010 Author Share Posted August 6, 2010 Which function does that? Click on "Show Results"... then you can click on the Real and Model votes to see who voted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted August 6, 2010 Author Share Posted August 6, 2010 Not seeing the "Show Results" option....... There's a "Show Results" button below the Real or Model chioces. You don't see it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
