This is image was put together with two back plates, and one 3D HDR stacked render. The brief was to set the mood and drama to present the car as amazingly as possible.
I felt with this, the problem for me to solve was to not let the upper left of the image steal the show, so toning that down was a challenge. For the image as a whole, I decided to create a compliment palette, and add some additional action in the windows with added color streaks. Removing the distortion in the buildings was a challenge as well. I also chose to lighten the curb edge on lower left, and the lower portion of the windows to sort of frame the car and help give it some extra motion.
