Weak shots such at that one probably should be consigned to the Recycle Bin, but Elements can help salvage them. This is still not a great image, but using the Stamp filter over the original and then decreasing the opacity yielded something with the simplicity of a Japanese drawing. It maintains the color of the winter sky and the contrast between it and the barren trees--and that was the feeling I wanted to convey when I took the picture in the parking lot.
