[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is a picture of the front end of a logging train that was abandoned on the West Coast Trail many years ago. It is now surrounded by lush temperate rainforest and is the subject of many hiker's pictures, I'm sure. The engine is all rusted out, and there is moss growing all over it, as seen here.

I thought that my original photo was alright, but kind of bland, so I spiced it up in my new trial version of Jasc Paint shop Pro (from dell).

Here's what I did:
- added a "old newspaper" filter to give a yellowish tint.
- "colourized" it by adding a further greenish tint.
- added spotlight effects to the bottom middle to bottom left portions of the photo.
- added the "sun spot" effect from the top right, sending beams and spots towards the bottom left.
