Premiership Trophy Retouching

I have done multiple examples of Trophy Retouching, you can find others in my portfolio and projects sections

This treatment and retouching I applied to this was

all of the chrome surfaces were checked and redrawn using new gradients. This was to remove all reflections of photographer, studio and kit
The chrome, ribbons, and gold were pathed to separate so that the colour could be altered separately. We wanted the chrome to be slightly cool
The ribbons were created in photoshop so that they were straighter
The image was cut out and a background and base was created digitally
