Description

1949 Dodge Hemi Woodie taken at the 2011 Santa Barbara "Woodies at the Beach" event. I erased everything around the woodie by using the PS erase tool (white and softest setting). I then applied:

Nik Color Efex Pro 3 Tonal Contrast (highest setting) and brushed the effect unto some of the chrome and all of the wood
"bindweed iii" texture from "struckdumb" on deviantArt at 100% Multiply (erased car in this layer)
added geese formation by using a PS brush from Shadowhouse Creations

Exif: F Number: 16, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/15 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 100, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 28.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 5D Mark II

Hi Robert;
Great blending of the classic image and textures/brushes. I especially enjoy the burnished edges and the way you've included the paint color tone in your b/g.
