Shot of the Delta King steamboat on the Sacramento River. This boat transported people to and from Sacramento to San Francisco beginning in 1927 and until the 40's.
For this challenge I exagerated the colors, sharpness, contrast, etc., a little to give it more of a "post card" look and feel.

I really really like this. Saw the thumbnail awhile ago, and couldn't wait to get to this one. The only proble I see is that the words "Delta King Hotel" kind of bug my eyes out. I'm not sure if it's just the way it is, or if the focus is just a tad soft, but I still love it anyway. Very nice. ~Heather~
Cropped a little too tightly for a classic 'postcard' look ... and, pardon me, but it's ugly. IMHO. :-> Nice focus and colors and contrast, though. It's just ... busy, and there's no compositional center.
Strange color in the letters, also I don't like the "photoshoppy" drop shadow which makes it look blurry, for me a drop shadow should make the text easier to read and not vice versa.
