Dude, no offense, but that's terrible. Looks like he just applied every kind of filter and effect known to man... doesn't make the picture look better in anyway.

ehhh i think it looks better, but hey i'm no professional photoshoper or photographer as you can tell

I just think the it just gave the pic some pop. Before it just looked plain blah to me. I think he only spent a couple of minutes on it so its not like this is a work of art or anything

That's a really horrible picture. I don't really know if the picture could be worse, honestly.

nice photoshop. the OPs is more artsy, not 'cleaner or clearer' which i think is what most people go for.

Nice attempt, but the original looks better. Remember, less=more. But take your time and just mess around with pshop. You'll eventually get better.

I'd be impressed with the after pic if it was hand drawn.

Way over processed, cheesy filters do not equate to 'good photography'.

Even the pic with the red car looks unnatural and a tad over processed (although much cleaner).
