Mic Inspired Me...

Unfortunately, I'll never have the skills he has in modifying photos...While browsing through my usual rail fanning site, I saw someone had requested some minor alterations to the picture...Having Photoshop and the time, I decided to give it a go...This is my first time in modifying any photo. In case you can't spot it, I've removed the motorcycle, the catenary, and the pantograph of the EMU.

Oh, and this isn't my photo. Don't go flame happy on me, it's only my first time

Thanks,

Nice work.    I think there's still a bit of a blur where the bike was, but that can be easily fixed.  Removing the wires made a big difference, though I think anyone who knows trains might get a smile out of them being missing though...  ;)

Thanks for the feedback Kevin...Of course, you can always take the absence of the wires as an indication of a DMU

The catenary was one of the things requested to be removed from the picture...Hence, I had to remove it, otherwise, I am rather fond of it

This is quick and dirty, so don't expect a lot....  ;)

One thing that might help is instead of removing the wires, is to darken the area so that the train draws your eye instead of the sky, which was lighter initially.  That will keep the purists happy.  Don't get me wrong, your edit was great...

Also, instead of trying to remove the bike by clone stamping, sample another area of the fence and the road and use it to recreate the are behind it...

None of this says what you did is bad, in fact it's quite well done.  Just a different way of doing it.  :)



I also removed the light pole as that drew you away from the train, and see now that I should have removed that tower there...

That's very nicely done! I guess I need to practice a little more...LOL...I'll look around the site and see if there are other pics that people have requested to be altered.

Cheers,
Ashar
