Before and after at Cadillac Ranch

[IndyOST]

Went out to Cadillac Ranch a couple of days ago to mess around a little bit and take a few pictures. Turns out there were hundreds of paint cans all over the place cluttering up any pictures that I took. So, I decided to see how well I could remove all the extraneous crap out of the photo and see what I could come up with...

Here's the before image:




Here's the after image:



Got rid of the two guys in the shot as well, just wanted an uncluttered shot of the Cadillacs. I also fiddled slightly with the curves, and slightly adjusted the vibrance levels as well.

One of the reasons I love the cloning stamp so much~!

Good job

Ahh...we know you put the camera down and cleaned that mess up and took another shot. Haha just jokin', very nice touch up. I viewed the image full size and you did a very good job.

Nice work

It's a shame we can't clean up the real world as quickly and neatly!!! Looks like an interesting place!

I've heard (and seen pictures) of this place before and I'm really surprised at the mess. Aren't there any caretakers/grounds keepers? I realize they're junk cars but I wouldn't have thought people would treat the place like a junkyard.

Really nicely captured and great PP work.

It's actually on private property, but there is a trash dumpster by the gate at the fence where you come in. It's usually on the person who comes in to clean up after themselves, and usually most people do. This was the worst I had ever seen it. Most times it's fairly clean. I'm thinking some of the local high school kids came out and had a grafitti party and just didn't do a great job cleaning up after themselves.
