Vintage Bugatti Racing Car

[chrisdesign]

The Klausenrace in Switzerland it is still the most legendary vintage mountain race in the world! Glory was destined to those who could drive through the breathtaking and adventurous Klausen pass in record time.

I found a very old photo in black and white in the internet from the legendary Klausen race in Switzerland.
In the Schlumpf Museum in Mulhouse France I shot a beautiful picture of a Bugatti. These two pictures I brought together in this new composite. The enormous power and beauty of this restored vintage race car is wonderful.

That looks great... But i did notice there is a reflection of another car on the one you substituted ( the red one ) which makes it look as though its from a show room rather than in the image with the crowd reflection.

But still a great image... funny how people notice things in other peoples work rather than there own...Especially mine.. theres more mistakes there than the movies make.

Thank you inkpad for your comment. I appreciate it very much. You're right, I should have taken care of the mentioned reflections. I did some retouching on the left fender and the lamp. After that I gave up and thought I might get away with it. Not so with you.:banghead:

Inkpad, I've posted an updated version with crowd reflection on the bonnet, and retouched right fender and lamp.
