About the Image(s)

It isn’t any secret that I love junkyards. I think they contain mounds of ferrous art. At the entrance to one on top of a semi trailer sat this beauty with another hulk pushing it from the rear. Perfect. After doing the cropping and contrast adjustments in Lightroom I moved it into Topaz Studio 2 to clean up the multitude of meshed lines and I came up with this. I used several masks to highlight different parts of the vehicle until all the critical parts were clear. I used the final sepia tone and halo to illuminate the whole car. I decided not to raise the brightness of the image or erase the trailing vehicle because I didn’t want this to completely appear to be a stand alone.
