The cars looked great in the original image so move on, right? Well, there are always things that can be improved. On this one, I wanted to create some more atmosphere. If these cars are spinning fast around corners, they are going to be kicking up dust, so I tried to bring that out subtly. You can see it in the headlight beams and behind the tires. Also, I created more light coming in from in front of and behind the pillars. Finally, I desaturated and vignetted the shot to give it the Abarth “graphic” look. All of this helps to push your eye up to the cars and tell the story of racing.
