A combination of smart blur/sharpen and WC.

I love old cars. It will be fun to see what everyone does with this thread. However, in this picture, I love the tree more than the car. The wonderful, peaceful spread of it makes me think of lazy, warm afternoons and a picnic lunch. Sigh. Spring is just around the corner. I must be patient.

Pavel that has given it some welcome lustre very nice

Janet i know what you mean the only problem was this was shot in our summer, picnic in hand and umbrella, Now the place to dream of is Stratford upon Avon loads of weeping trees, a river, swans , etc will have to talk hubby into going just to take a photo for you

Thought I'd add some street lights.

My original tought was to add a duck parade (mama and some babies) crossing all that open expanse of street, but I didn't have time to look for the proper image.

Maybe someone else can do it. :-)

Thanks, Steve and Palms.

Tried a crop and some art history.

Palms -- lovely image -- the old car, the tree, the cobbled road -- great to look at even without Photoshopping.

Pavel -- very nice -- lush look!
Janet -- I'll race you to the tree!
Swampy -- those street lights add real style!
Peter -- I really like this rendition -- lovely!

I found some ducklings with a mama (for Swampy), and did some color range selections, some adaptive equalization, some sketch layers, etc.

Thanks a lot ALL.
BTW Pavel I don't see a WC there anywhere, maybe it got flushed away.

A common danger of using acronims...it was a different wc.

This lovely image works with a lot of techniques.

Great work C.J., but the duck and ducklings win it hands down for me
