About the Image(s)

The image this month has two old cars rusting away side by side near the side of the road in Georgia. One can imagine that they have bee there a long time. I added some nature elements to give them purpose. Initially the car image was cleaned up. The post and barbed wire were removed as well as some of the vegetation around the cars. Some cropping was done to the image and burning of the green vegetation. The cat was added, sized and its cushion darkened. Next the little bird was added to the bumper area of the car on the right. It was also sized, and brightness and contrast added to give it more visibility. And the lighter parts on the little bird were highlighted. Lastly the grackle was added to the window of the car on the right. It was also sized. QuadPencil filter was added to the image at 35% to give more character to the image especially the cars. A vignette from OnOne was added to tone down the green vegetation, and a thin stroke was added to separate the image from the background.
