Post Processing Challenge #661 - Winner announced

[BDR-529]

This Pizzeria is actually on Stråkvägen 1, Ekensbergsvägen is further to the right in this picture.
I don't think Råsunda stadion was there 3 years ago, so the question is did she play at Skytteholms IP or Råsunda IP?

Tournament itself was at Skytteholms IP but one of the qualifying matches was moved to Råsunda IP for whatever reason. I still have all the tags on Google maps left and according to scale Råsunda IP is some 200m away from this photo.

I didn't even realize that crane was indeed missing from several photos. I should have replaced that damn modern Ford (?) whith a '74 Taunus because it totally spoiled 1970's grainy photo atmosphere but too late now and this is "post processing" not photoshopping challenge after all.

If you continue in the same direction as Råsunda IP for about 300m you would come to where I live.

Post Processing can include Photoshopping if you want to, there are no rules about that so feel free to change your entry if you want to.
But please make it a Ford Taunus 20M estate wagon as that is what my dad had at that time. ?

I like the entries so far.
So keep the entries coming, make my life miserable when it comes to judging! ?

Similar to my first entry, but more colorful.

For anyone wondering how much processing is done in DxO and how much in Gimp, this may provide a rough idea:

Challenge is now closed, I will endeavour to do the judging tonight and deliver the results.

So the Swedish jury/judge/executioner has decided.

21 entries is good I think, so thanks to all who participated!

A special mention: the only one who went for a darker interpretation and also a new participant as far as I know: @archaeopteryx.

The flying gentleman with the umbrella made me think of Paris and a painting of Monet or someone. Thanks for that @Hendrik.

So in the end I had narrowed it down to 4 images, 2 colour and 2 B&W.

2nd runner up: @WhidbeyLVR for both entries, now I don't have to choose between colour and B&W but I think the colour one would have been number 3 and the B&W number 4.
1st runner up: @Kae1 entry #2 B&W.
Winner: @Hendrik entry #2.

So over to you @Hendrik!

Many thanks for the win - most unexpected!
