Sassy Grass Green 1971 Cuda



My most recent project is adding mirror reflection of the beautiful 1971 Sassy Grass Green Cuda. I took picture of this Cuda with my favorite Tele-Zoom 70-200mm ƒ2.8 VR Nikkor Lens while it was on the patio table during afternoon sunshine. I used the Photoshop's pen tool to trace more accuracy the entire die cast car model and removed the unwanted background. I copied via layer and used the transform and flipped vertically to create a mirror reflection-like. The reflection was lightly touched with the gradient tool through the layer mask to make it bit ghost to look realistic. Photoshop did a great trick. (click the image for enlargement view)
