    Hmmm... I actually really like this. The only problem I see is that the focal seems to not follow the rule of thirds at all. I would suggest cropping off a bit of the bottom and about 3/4 of an inch on the righ. Other than that the effects are pretty good and the blending works.

    7.5/10

    What do you mean, rules of thirds?

    The focal is always supposed to be on a 1/3 line. Such as a tic tac toe board... Or in this pic:

    You would want the focal on one of the lines. Preferably at an intersection.

    What if the render is long?

    would you make a longer canvas?

    cut off part of the render, flow should always go over focal, but just barely.

    also, here's a link to rule of thirds, although this is represented on a photograph, you should place your focal using the exact same method.

    That's a dumb rule.

    It's used primarily in photography but it applies to all art forms.

    Maybe not, but it's definitely a guideline for many types of art.

    I really like this, I like the soft lighting behind and under the car. Good job!

    I think I have to disagree now that I know a bit more on the subject. This sig has a long render that is pretty centered and would you all agree the positioning looks nice? Maybe, maybe not... But I think it does.
    The rule of thirds seems to be important in photography but probably not essential in all art forms like signatures... And, it is pretty random of you to bring it up when it's such a minuscule factor in sig making...
