I'll respond to you all in one blanket post, as it seems a little impractical to leave 7 different comment responses :). First of all, the constructive criticism is great. I agree about the wheels in motion, and think that could add a lot of movement and energy to the piece. As for the shadows under the car without them the image actually looked a lot flatter, so I do think they need to be there. Of course they could probably be worked on some more though. I actually think that the contest works whereby those shortlisted get 2 months to refine/finish their entry/concept, so if this is the case and I'm lucky enough to make it I could work on improving the design, and take on board all your great suggestions. Thanks again for the fantastic comments everyone, and fingers crossed now for the judging process :). Wow, thanks for all the great feedback guys.

This looks like a pretty solid design for the competition. I like being able to read through your process and get some insight into some of the decisions you made and why you made them. In terms of composition, I think that there is a clear hierarchy and that the car is the main element here, which is good. The subtle use of the logo on the top doesn't bother me because you can still see the Infiniti logo on the license plate. I like the addition of the dancers around the car, but I would be curious to see how it would look if the dancers weren't quite as symmetrical - 3 on the left, 3 on the right, both along the same horizontal plane. It might also be interesting to see a bit of the purple ribbon coming in from somewhere along the top or the edges of the other corners of the image just to sort of complete that wrapped feeling that you start to get on the bottom of the design. That being said, your silhouettes look fantastic and the time you have taken for the details is evident. The motion works well throughout the piece although I have to agree that the wheels should also be treated a bit to show them in motion. This could be as simple as selecting just the tires and applying a bit of a blur or something to that effect, but it's just a minor detail. Overall I like the design and think you have definitely gone above and beyond the design brief. You're Photoshop skills continue to improve and I wish you the absolute best in the competition!

Your effort really shows through! You're doing an awesome job! Congrats and Good wishes for you in the competition! I thought your thought processes were intriguing. Particularly the explanation where you used the grill frontings in the surface area. Your reasoning is neat! The reference of the dancers with the car is nice, too! It works for me! Good job!

Though I must add, do not mind - I am not a good artist as yourself, I feel something missing / feels out of place in the final piece. Though this could just be me, and as I said I am not a good artist as you. Nonetheless a good piece & best of luck Tom great job on the piece Tom, like it.

First of all, congratulations for your great job on this website. Second, regarding your design: it's a good piece of work and it looks good, but... I think you should work a little more on the car shadows. It looks like it's floating around. Maybe you could burn a little more, or you could try just to remove them and add a zoom blur to the car so it gives a high speed effect(it's just an opinion). Anyway, good luck in the competition!
