Definitely man. I just wanted to do a quick edit for a visual representation on what I mentioned. I wasn't sure how knowledgeable you are about photography terminology, even though you own a DSLR, so I thought an image upload would be of benefit. I'm still a noob on this site and don't know many of the members.

If it was my photo, I would have taken the time to remove the aqua tones as seen in the windows, water, and a little in the mountains and sky. I also would have worked on individual characteristics of the car, such as the fog lamps, to bring out the texture. I also would have done a separate curves mask on the ground and adjust overall saturation.

But this is your photo, so I didn't take the time to do anything extensive. I was just hoping to offer another option. Thanks for your feedback. A simple "S" curve can really do wonders for a photo, and I always 'play around' with them a little before finalizing a photo.

I'm glad to see you prefer the natural look. I believe that's what real photography is all about. Composites have their place, but the ability to edit a photo to look like what your eyes saw in the moment is a great goal to strive for.
