Unfortunately if i left the pony pink, the rest of the interior would have to remain as it was and it just didn't fit the overall mood of the shot. Respect for the pony though

The time included the conception of the artistic direction and was spread over the course of a few days.

Photography/editing is my passion and being a perfectionist sometimes gets in the way of the workflow





thanks for the kind word guys - there are 2 more in the works

I was debating that myself, but i feel like there is a fine line between enhancing a photo and transforming it into something completely different. Leaving the camera on there as well as the scratches on the front lower splitter and other irregularities allows the car to retain a sense of realism. While there were plenty of things that were edited & cleaned up - some aspects are better left untouched

The goal with this was to come up with a clean, clutter-free wallpaper that vividly featured the great lines and color of this car. The photo itself has the car powering through an apex with almost brute force - and is perfect for a wallpaper. There's enough space to either side for your icons - and the final edit is full of eye candy. I've had it on my desktop for a few days and can't stop looking at it.



Click Here to download the full high-res wallpapers (from the above 1280x800 all the way to 2650x1600)

Let me know what you think! There are more in the works and possibly a wallpaper tutorial if there's enough interest.

Looks amazing. Perfect example how of how putting the time into something can yield incredible results; your attention to detail certainly shows.

You missed a spot... the "a" in "ams" on the left side of the front bumper

Oh and Ryan, are you ever gonna replace the K&N sticker on the grill plastic?
