Is this like you mean: [link]
I do like that now too. I'm just wondering, what made you want to see it with magenta/purple rather than another color?
Peace.

You're getting pretty close there to the feeling that I was shooting for, but it's honestly more about how you're feeling towards the picture.

For my personal taste you made it a bit too contrasted to where you cannot see a lot of the details (and I'm a details guy, it's just my style). Because of the flowers and all of the highlights in the original, I could see this picture in a yellowish / sepia, however the high brick content, the rust, and especially the light/shadow in the alley lead me to the magenta tint and a cooler feeling color scheme. I also think that with some of the older subjects (i.e. your car) it is nice to throw in a little vignetting, and since the subject (car) was in the upper left I decided not to do a standard framing vignette but rather to shift it closer to the subject and run it off the page to move the picture in that direction.

You should compare your original to your edit to my attempt to get my feel and to see if it is or isn't a way that you would personally take this piece. I would recommend opening them all in separate tabs and jumping between each (or download them all to your desktop and open them in some sort of previewer)...

Yea, I do like how its darker, its true. I've never gotten into the whole vignetting for pictures. I'll look into it. Thanks sir.

best suggestion there is just making a bg layer of black, using an elliptical selection tool with feathering of at least 25px, and then selecting the inverse of your selection and deleting it with backspace.

I tried and tried again honestly to remake my original. Honestly I do like my original one more, I like what you've done to it too, but mine fits well with me. Like you said, do what feels right for yourself, I like that.

Well, you are certainly welcome. Good art should get recognition!

I've haven't written a journal in 3/4s of a year and my last upload was about 16 months ago... I'll probably end up passing... Oh, and I leave for school Wednesday, but it won't be starting for about a week after that (I'm just trying to get there to get a job)
