1st off......

Happy New Year!!

This is a old car scene I took back in 2002 with my old 2.1mp Digi.
I've always loved this scene but the power lines looked like hell!

Well I did the most extensive work with CS2 so far and cloned em all out and the roll bar on the side.

What do ya think?

I like the color version better. Looks like you did a good job getting rid of things. I would work on cloning out the jack stands too.

Much improved without the power lines. Well done. But IMO I would leave the jack stands as it adds to the composition.

Thanx! I amazed myself!!
Well I thought about it but......they are holding the car up.
It'd look a lil strange pooched up in the air with nothing there.
Considering the engine sits on the ground by it. :D
The color fix needs a lil more saturation to be 100%.
I only had 3 Zima's! LOL

Here is the FINAL fix!
What I did:
Cloned out all power lines....Rollbar or left side....some of the leaves top left of roof.
Reduced noise with CS2.
Nik Color Efex Graduated Blue filter for sky.
Added my sig.
NOW it's a nice shot!

I actually like the original better. But you did a nice job cloning the power lines out.

Really???
Your the only person that's ever said that.
I was always told that having power lines in a shot ruins it.
