Thanks for the pointer Steve. It's feedback like that , that makes it worth posting here. There were some amazing entries I thought. Very nice work all round.

Thanks, Steve, for your critique. Ans a big THANK YOU to Puffin31939 for inspiring me to try again. It also helped that I could see what others had done.

I like the view of the woman inside the car, although it's hard to see exactly what she's doing

It's not so much what she is doing as who she is doing. This being a PG forum, I chose to keep the fellow in shadow to protect innocent eyes.

And it's certainly good enough to earn you a much overdue title. Shall we say Pixel Perfectionist for your great attention to detail?

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I wondered how people got them. I feel so honored.

And here is the final chapter of the story...

Many thanks for your help, Steve! I tried different versions of shadows, but wasn’t able to find a result.

Sara - I am flattered that my effort inspired you, especially as I think you have a far better grasp of art than I do.

Thanks Steve -- actually those guys in the scene were shot standing beside their vehicles so everything is to scale although I agree they look too big for the car --- as for fonts they still tend to elude me

Gee, shucks, thanks.

Art is very subjective. However, if you feel you need to improve your grasp of Art, I suggest repeatedly visiting an Art museum. When I was a child my mother used to take me to the Des Moines Museum of Art, which has an amazingly huge and varied collection for a provincial art museum. While the whole collection can be viewed in one afternoon, it will take all of that afternoon to view it.
