I just used the adjustment brush and bumped up the exposure a bit.

What i like best about your edit is that you made the door transparent all the way to the edge (showing as much as the driver seat as possible). On top of that, you still keep details of your door visible; very nice edit for what you were trying to do. Now just work on composition and get a nice shoot in ^_^

Thanks. This was not a well thought out shot. Was actually shooting something else that day and decided to try this.

Btw 6MT for life!
