Only thing done here is taking my buddy out so its just me and my brother:

Here I took out the mailboxes and driveway and manipulated the color a bit:

And here is where I tried something I haven't done before. I really wanted a "vintage" look to the picture...I need honest feedback:

you can definitely see that the 1 rider has been taken out almost looks blurry, mailbox was better , making the colors richer looks good

lookin' good David!

Looks pretty damn good considering what you removed.

There is a little haze where the rider was removed but it was done well for taking that big of a piece out!
