Ok guys before you look at the images i know it's nothing like whats posted here and no where near as good. this is just a little project i've started for myself

Right guys

I wanted to mess around with some images.. . more learning for myself then anything

I started with

and i got a pic of my friends car.. Now i wanted to place the car on the bridge and make it look real

heres where i'm at

i added a small drop shadow, I added some shadow from the bridge across the bonnet.. I also adjusted the curves,,

any tips on what next to do ?

first of all scale is wrong it looks like a go-kart size, you're levels are ok but maybe a little bit more tweaking could help, also other very important stuff to consider is the enviroment itself, so you need all that enviroment reflected on the car metal and cristal, and get rid of the reflection you already have like that orange that's is not o your actual enviroment the soft shadows are only contact shadows but you need the hard shadows coming from the sun, I wouldn't consider this a matte painting at all, but a photo composition
