Thanks to those who offered suggestions on my first thread.
I have played around with my processing and came up with 3 versions.
I have entered one of them, but then played around some more, and now am not sure which to use.
I am wondering which of these 3 works best in your opinions.
Thanks in advance! Here they are

1. This is the one I have entered and the actual colors on the Caboose

2. This one obviously I changed the color of the Caboose, not sure it helps it though

3. This one, although I prefer B&W to sepia, I thought I'd try this to help enhance the "old" feel of the Caboose..I added some texture also

Thanks again!

    It looks like you also decreased the contrast in #2. It gives it an almost icy look. Personally I prefer #1, but I can see making a case for #2 as well.

    I agree. The sepia doesn't do much for me. The reduced contrast in the 2nd is great for the trees - the FG evergreen branches become less prominent, as do the willow branches in front of the caboose. I like the caboose colors in the first.

    Sorry Karin--
    I didn't comment because I figured it was too late--I forget what the actual time deadline is for submissions--it is over right?

    In any event--I like the entry you picked the most.

    Thanks for the reply konomaniac, I toned the contrast down in #1, hope it looks better!

    No problem, that was my fave too, I did redo with less contrast though. It is what it is now, no time left for me! Thanks for the feedback Liz!

    Late I guess....not sure what Mega10 is.
    I like the third one best, would crop the top and from the right.
