Good subject for a pastel-like rendition.

One of the better old-vehicle images. The snow enhances the abandoned effect. I love the texture and painterly technique. Was this done in Painter?

I like the high contrast feel of your composition, the pastel coloring (especially when set against a black background), and the overall painterly feel of your composition.

Love the gorgeous colors and the perspective for this wonderful old truck. Your post processing is so magicaly artistic and complementary.

Great work!! Any chance of sharing how it's done :)

To begin with, I overexposed by about 2 stops. I then adjusted the levels to bring out the truck colors. I then sized it to 750 by 563. I applied Rough pastels which was too harsh, so I faded that by 50%. Then with the Clone tool I cloned some of the white forground snow around the border and finished the border off by fading the opacity of the clone tool to 15 to 50% and working farther into the edges. No fancy plug in filters!

The photo has been transformed into a fine pastel coloured drawing. Excellent result!
