Took a quick photo of this beautiful beast and applied a few filters. Any ideas on how to post process to maximize this photo are welcomed.

I really like the very high-contrast look.. Actually, looks like a drawing. Perhaps post a unprocessed one.

Need to clean up the halo around the handlebar.

I like what you've done so far. Layer Masks might give you more options & show a bit more detail in the cooling fins.
Using a Layer Mask to hide part of an image. Advantage is that the mask is reversible, where the effect of an eraser is not.
Also, you can use this with a different exposure of the same image to add texture to blown highlights.
Need to remove a background from something?

NICE.

Is that an indean soft tail?

Thanks, when I get done batch processing 1500 photos for a bridezilla I will give it a try.


DerekRob,
I believe it is. And I was told it is ALL original including the tires. I am not a motorcycle fan but if I could grow a beard and was a cool rich single guy I would own one.

Kona77, I agree with you Those are so nice and Paul SR does take most of his idea's from the indan.

By the way I'm a bit of a fan.
