Default First photoshop ever>>

Well, I downloaded that free trial of photoshop and have been working with it for the last couple of days trying to figure it out and get to know everything. Ill tell you, I think Im gonna stay with "GIMP2", its just so much easier and user friendly. But anyway, this is what Ive been working on the last couple days as I said. Its the first thing Ive EVER done with photoshop, so take it easy on me, its still a work in progress and Im still learning. Tell me what you think of it, how I can improve, what looks stupid, anything you got to say about it, let me know, cause Im really wanting to get this thing down.
BTW, for my first time, I think it did a dam good job??
PS> I know there isnt a driver HAHA LOL again, its a work in progress>>

Not to bad for a beginner. Just keep practising. What might also be of help it to Google for tutorials. They are your best friend.

I have been using Photoshop for years and i still have alot to learn.

Not so bad. A little comically and cartoonish, but I get it. I can't say I could do better. I've never really played with PhotoShop but can't believe GIMP2 is more user friendly.

My only advice would be to start learning how to work properly with layers, this way you can use multiple layers and transparencies and get a real nice 3D effect with your smoke, and still being able to see the car underneath in places.

Photoshop isn't easy. Classes upon classes on that program need to be had to even touch what it can do.
