Graphic Design Contests

dont really want to pay someone, but i might if could get it to look REAL nice... i took a couple pics of my truck this morning and I suck at photography.... i have taken a million pics and cant seem to get the light backgrounds, etc to look nice...

im wanting to take one of these pics, brighten it up, sharpen it, maybe take the telephone poles and glare out of side of truck, do whatever has to be done to make it look nice... then take the ugly parking lot background out of it and maybe make it look like truck is on a cliff or desert or something really cool...id like to get it blown up into a poster....

anyone have any skills at this kind of stuff?

It's not going to get much sharper without creating artifacts. Provide me with a background picture and I can give it a try.

Poster? You may want a higher-resolution picture if you are going to do that. Is that the largest picture you have?

PM me the pic

EDIT:

Decided to try it with the jpg provided hows this look?

I left the background, becuase it is easier to remove the signage than to replace the bg. There is nothing I can do about the glare because there is no data to replace it with, sorry. If there is anything that needs to be changed let me know!

Of course there is no data, that is where your creativity and eye for design comes into play!

Email me the larger pic Bolt, I'll have a go at it.

If I were to try to eliminate the glare it would no longer be a photo, it would be a graphic and thus not an accurate portrayal of the car. The changes I made were photo touch-ups and in no way alter the car (except where I removed the power lines from the reflection).
