The power of editing an image

One of the things I like to do from time to time is find an image that looks utterly hopeless and doing all I can till it becomes something amazing. I think it's a good exercise for my artistic ability.

Just a little history about this image. It's in Surabaya, Indonesia, at a stop light. Our musty, loud and hardly capable bus was waiting behind this group of bikers and I wanted a snap. It's a very common sight in that country. At times I bet I could see no less than 45 of these mopeds at a light. And sometimes carrying as many as five people, two parents and three very small children. lol. I know! Crazy, huh? So this image is important to me because it depicts what I remember so well. I will always love this image now.

Tell me what you think.

Original image. Less than amazing, huh? Well, watch this.
