Photoshop request for car picture. Can anyone help?

[Jolly]

Hi all,

I took this picture of my car last weekend, and while I am happy with it, I think it could be much better if it were to be treated to a session with PS. The only problem is that I don't have it nor do I know how to use it.



As well as the original image I have also included my bodged attempt to make it look reasonable using some crappy HP software that came with my printer!!



I have also managed to mess up the sizing of that one too, because I was hoping to use it as a background for my computer.

On another note, what do people think of the photo? Any tips?

Thanks in advance for any help people are able to give.

James.

P.S, a large version can be found here... click the link to download it

You can get a FREE editing tool from Google called Picasa. It is basic but at least you can have a play

All done with Picasa (although a little OTT )

Wow thanks for the responses! Very impressed with everyone's efforts, thanks very much. It is much appreciated.

Sorry to be cheeky, but is there any chance of some 1024 x 768 versions so I can give my computer a nice new background?
