78 Oct 18 Comment Jason,

I like what you're trying to do here. I like the tobacco color however you end up using it. I suggest you take a look at the Post-Crop Vignetting slider in Lr. Perhaps with heavy "+" vignetting and a lot of feathering... your antique look might be enhanced.

78 Oct 18 Comment I like the shot. Brightening it up is essential. I like the crop as well. B&W works for me too. I like the lose hair on the crop a lot, but would clone them out on the vertical which is more formal for me. Adding a little background on the top of the vert might help as well. Oct 6th

I'm not quick enough with my point and shoot to control focus in an action shot. The camera did its thing and I was lucky it worked as well as it did. As you can see in the above, I worked on the eyes and beak with the sharpening tool to try and mitigate the situation.

Thanks

78 Oct 18 Comment Sunil,
I love the color and the crop. It might be easier to fix the shadow by cloning sand over the right end. You could shorten it a fair amount and it would still be long enough to be effective and make your point.

78 Oct 18 Comment Thanks for sharing your image of an historic and important place. I remember where I was and exactly what I was doing when I heard on the radio that Kennedy had been shot. But,for me the image dose not transcend context. Without the story or a connection to the event it has little meaning. From a graphic point of view I find the post processing distracting rather than helpful. The lightness of the blue sky next to the building is for me, unrealistic. Is it HDR? Oct 6th
78 Oct 18 Comment Brenda,
I too, like the tighter crop better. Two other things come to mind:
The image has a to the right tilt (not a political comment). I think I would straighten the tower at the very least.
And I would take out or extend the left most tail light streak.
