Since I am an amateur I often shoot at car shows. This, of course, presents the problem of other spectators gathering around the cars. I took this shot with other cars and people clearly visible in the background. I tried to clone them out in post-production, but I was unhappy with the results. Even blurring the background still left a somewhat "cluttered" look. So I decided to convert it to black & white and darken the background enough to clean it up. I made extensive use of the clone, spot healing, and even dodge and burn tools to create this version. This beautiful car had the classic orange and blue Ford GT paint scheme, but I actually like this black & white image better!
