Now You See Him, Now You Don't

This is the actual photo I managed to take from our moving car. I was disappointed that the man's head is obscured by icy branches, so I waved a magic wand,

(Google Photo's Magic Eraser feature) to remove him from the photo. Once you know it's been 'doctored', you can easily spot the blurriness where he had once been. Ha! It looks as if he's gone up in a puff of smoke! (Anyone need help disappearing for a while? I'll take your picture, and let Google take care of it for you ...)

I really liked the human interest by having him in the pic, but the unfortunate placement of the branch ruined it for me. Then Google suggested I "stylize" it and got these results.

It definitely brightened the scene, making the light less dull, but it makes the colors seem so artificial.
