Detached from a City

As seen on Flickr

Hey everyone. I spent about an hour doing some photo retouching and I'm pretty happy with the result. I took a photo which I was pleased with, however there were tons of power lines in the background which, in my opinion, distracted your eyes. Most of the sky was blue, so cloning it out wasn't too difficult, but I had to redo about 30% of the clouds.

Before:





After: (Click for full. Bigger is better for the soul!)

Nicely done. I can't really tell at all now. Now for a real challenge try removing the reflections of the lines in the truck.

I like the retouch! Well brought out colours, and the reflection on the side is much clearer too, which adds interesting detail to it!

The "After" looks pretty cool, its got sharper colours, more contrast and an overall better look, good job.

Look great!. the only minor detail. The pole is showing in the window behind passenger seat. No one would probably notice. But since you told us the secret.. i see it.
Wonderful color!

nice work! the before shot wasn't able to really give a clue as to what color the truck might be, but the after is great. reminds me of tow-mater from pixar's cars

Haha, yeah. I don't know if I should even attempt that. :P
