Dangerous Truck Driving in the Desert

[chrisdesign]

I found the truck image here: http://pictures.4ever.eu/cars/trucks/american-camion-216788 and got inspired to create a composite.
I googled the image of the dustclouds.




This is the final image I created.
Feel free to add comments or suggestions. I'm also open to your critique.

Good work as usual. I would like to see a version without the white spots and streaks, these seem very fake to me.

I appreciate your comment Sam. Here is a "without" version.

Looks much better to me Chris! I really like this image! Great job!

Same here, chris. That looks more authentic. The flying debris in your first version sort of lessened the feeling of power......

I agree.....now looks awesome.

Thanks for your comments. I appreciate it very much.
You also overruled and convinced me at the same time, and I have to agree with dv8 that the picture looks much more powerful without debris flying around.

By the way, what is the name for this special effect?

uhhhhh.... dust and dirt kicked up by a skidding monster truck?...... .

Kidding aside.... if you mean the flying debris, it looks more like Hollywood style effects just to highten the action. Great for movies but sometimes doesn't work for static images......

Special effect?
