ps at it's best

i had a few curious minds interested in how i achieved the results of my vintage car photo. it's a lot of fiddling with photoshop. if you cruise around on flickr you'll find something called 'actions' which are a set of preset commands made by brilliant minds on flickr. you simply press a button and photoshop will change your original dry digital image into something quite wonderful. i have recently started using actions but for this particular image below i worked layer by layer to create an effect i thought complimented the mood i was striving for. click on the image to get a closer look :)
the original...blah!
