Been re-editing some older photo's

This was taken at the Autosport International show in Jan 2006. The colour version has always been one of my favourite pictures. But I though I'd try something a little different with it as I wanted to use part of the image on my business card and the colour version was too busy.

All done in about 30 minutes in PSP9 at work. I'm that bored at the moment.

Original

Newly modified

I think I prefer the new version. Will have to try this on some other shots I've got that I've never been too keen on.

Any suggestions on what else to try?

I did try it with the yellow on the rear wing and the helmet, but the shade of yellow on the rear wing is just different enough to look awful once done. I could change it, but it was only a quick edit I did.

I was going to keep the i-mode logo on the top of the helmet, but I forgot when desaturating the rear wing *oops*

The main problem I have with the colour version is the background - it was a series of extremely large blowups of photo's of Monaco. Colours were very washed out and patchy - as you can see.

I did also try leaving only the blue, but blues and greys are a bit strange as they start to blend into each other I feel and it looked odd.

The yellow just stands out nicely I think.
