I like it.

I know that in absence of background references it is hard to have sense of speed but I miss it a little bit.

Re: I just saw this cool movie...
I agree with you Déjŕ_vu. I tried some little things but I didn't like the result. After fiddling for a couple of hours I quit and lef tthe image alone.

Thanks for the comments everyone!

I've made my own attempt. Hope you don't mind if I use your image. Only if you like it: I've duplicated the image (don´t have the psd so I've used the flattened jpeg=, then applied a motion blur filter, change the blending mode to multiply, and to finish, I've made an opacity mask and retouched the areas that in my opinion should be clean. A little touch to the levels and this is the result. All done with the most of my respect for your original work.

Probably working over the layered file will give a neater result.

Re: I just saw this cool movie...
Pierre, playing with your image I've found a "revelation" There's an element that I think is the key of the motion sensation: the wheel.

As you can see, the front wheel on your image is slighty turned right. This gives the sensation that the car is parked, or at least is fighting with the straight trail.

I've straightened the wheel and I think that this detail is enough to "save" the issue on the motion sense. What do you think about it?

hope you find interesting this "images" debate.

Re: I just saw this cool movie...
Pierre great image.

Deja_vu eyes and reasons are very bright in my humble opinion (IMHO). I can agree with Deja_vu and add some more:

Deja_vu & Pierre with the wheel motion, you can give an elliptic effect too.
Reason:
Because, bottom of the wheel is zero compared to ground and the top is going twice(x2) as fast as the car. If you use your eyes as a car goes past you will envisage this.

So ask a cop, part of my vehicle was do doing "0" and the rest of my wheels x2 speed limit

Of course you do not need to if just track the car 100%
