Chopper Pic - C&C Please

I just recently got around to doing some PP on an old shot I took of a chopper from a local shop. Let me know what you think of the PP. Ill post the orignal for comparsion.

I like the PP but the bikes not my cup of tea, I don't fancy touring Europe on that seat

Brilliant PP work, I do see a bit of a halo but it doesn't subtract from the overall pic.

Love it. What PP did you do to achieve this?

selected the sky and made it a tad darker, converted to sepia, unsharp mask to bring back the paint and chrome, some burning around the outside to darken it up some.

i also cloned out the beer coozie sitting on the handlebars.

Cool, thanks.

I think I messed with the levels also. Make the blacks pop a little more.

I really like it but that overly white cloud above the left side handlebar above the 394 is a tad bit too distracting for my liking. Get rid of it and I think you have a definite winner.

I like it. Very nice PP work.

It's a good idea, but too dark for me. You can get rid of that halo, but with this bike, it will be a bit of work!
Selecting areas in PS.

I put the halo there actually. I burned the outside of the pic. In the full size version you dont even notice it and can barely tell it was done. Yet another thing I hate about resizing.

Ill have to see if I can take that down a peg or two.

Thanks for the help everyone. This was my first venture outside the saturation, sharpening ect. and I needed some critque.

I think it looks good. Which lens did you use?
