I wonder why so many people couldn't be bothered to fix the view through the windows of the car after placing it into a different scene ?

I guess I'm anal !

yeah, that's an oops...

what I found so mysterious...do ppl really think that a shiny new car, parked on a shiny surface would not show the undercarriage of the vehicle? There're going for realism...or maybe not

Thats part of the job man.
Being 'anal' is part of being an artist.

car windows are actually easy to fix...
mask the area you want to recreate, then fill with a light blue/aqua green color (most times) and set the layer to screen with about 50% opacity 50% fill or something similar
example:
http://photoshopcontest.com/view-entry/104274/sunset.html
for this one I used a pinkish color (because of the sunset) Layer to screen @ 38% Opacity and 40% fill then on top of that layer another using part of the clouds set at soft light at about 80% opacity with 60% fill to show reflection.

Hope that helps someone

I fixed the background through the windows, but my windowglass sucks in this entry!
Next I'll do it better

I was disappointed with that whole contest.

But, since I didn't enter I guess I can't bitch.

I wanted to enter but did not have enough time to finish my chop.
Not much reflections and shadows.
