Here's two with some effects I have been practicing with.

That looks good man. How you do that

[jqualls04GT]

I use photoshop. But whatever graphic design software used:
1) select the subject (the car in this case) I use the polygonal lasso tool.
2) choose a select inverse tool (in my right click menu for cs3)
3) desaturate the background
4) fiddle with brightness/ contrast
5) select inverse again so the subject is selected
6) fiddle with brightness/ contrast of the subject this time
7) then if you want reselect the background (select inverse) and play with filters and their settings*

*Step 7 is how I changed the background in the 2nd chop. That one in particular is a crosshatch filter

If you post more pics I will probably post more of these, look around the other threads around here, I have literally been photoshopping all day! lol

thanks for the appreciation, it's why I continue to edit pictures, if only my dslr didn't break on the last deployment!

Here's one with a background filter called "poster edges". It gives the image a poster-like appearance. It works better with bigger pics, but I think it fits well with this one.
