I shot this beautiful car in Cienfuegos in Cuba. This is my first attempt at using the Orton Effect. At this point I must mention the very cool photoblog zOOm and thank Florence for sharing this technique. In essence the effect is created by duplicating a layer, blurring it and setting the blend mode to multiply. This significantly darkens the image so I applied curves to brighten each layer. I applied a little vignette and some masked desaturation to keep the focus on the subject.
