Well, I did another manip, and this time it's a race. I really tried to bring out the colors by using some contrast. I hope you think I did a good job with it.
Ummm, you just contrasted it, I dont think that qualifies as a manipulation. Change something about the actual image, like put a cow or something in there...
Well, I didn't just contrast it. If you notice in the bottom left and top right on the road, there's a colorful strip on it. That came from a few blended motion blur layers. I wanted to make it look like it was going really fast, and for some reason things look colorful from certain perspectives after a certain speed. So I felt like this is kind of realistic.
