Tried to apply some of the stuff I learned in Ben Willmore's CS4 seminar to a photo of a Model T, and came up with this. It still needs some more work, I don't like the bright tree trunk growing out of the hood. Feedback and criticism appreciated.

I like the picture and the processing, but the bright bows don't go with the rest of the photo. I would tone them down a bit. Also if it were me, I'd either leave the text off completely, or try to emulate the look of what you would see on photos from that period. The tree doesn't bother me much, but a touch of the dodge/burn tool could darken a bit more. I'd also recommend you soften the edge on the vignette.

It looks pretty good, but I'd take the color out of the right side wheels, too.

I don't like the bright tree trunk growing out of the hood.

Layer Masks are one answer. See post # 14
