Below is a photograph of an oak tree in a park. This isn't the exact photo I modified, but is very close, and shot about two days before the one I used. Notice the fence in the background, and the rocks around the base.

In this photograph I have removed the rock and fence. It was shot at a little lower angle than the one above, but the fence and rocks still showed. I initially chose this one because of the overcast conditions, and lack of shadow.

Here is a heavily modified image taken from the photograph above.

HERE IS A PHOTOGRAPH OF AN OLD FORD BEFORE I RETOUCHED IT.

HERE I HAVE SIMPLIFIED THE BACKGROUND AND "REPAIRED" THE WINDSHIELD.

HERE I HAVE STARTED ADJUSTING THE COLOR AND "SMOOTHING" THE EDGES.

IN THIS FINAL VERSION I'VE GONE CRAZY WITH AUTUMN COLOR. I DECIDED THAT THE OLD CAR WOULD MAKE A GREAT FALL SCENE.

I have had prints made of the final images in each of these examples, and hope to have them in exhibits in 2010.

"Armageddon" does seem to suit the menacing appearance of the first photo, but it's good to mull things over too.
Great editing work on all the photos. The end result is a completely different feel.
