  4. Seems a good effect but it doesn’t seem to work for the picture you chose. It would’ve probably worked better on a picture that goes straight. Something like from “Back to the Future”?

  12. great idea, very creative. I think the image looked more convincing before the sparks were added to the front wheels, though.
