I'll start!

What was a cold overcast and very foggy mid morning...

I took the sky from another photo I took on Mulholland one evening. I cropped out the windows and added reflection to the front windshield. Customary lighting, color tweaks.
Beautiful photo, but that goes way past "post processing' into photoshopping.

Edit: Apparently "post processing" and photoshopping are the same thing here.

Most of the photos are pretty good, but some get actually worse due to over "post processing". Also, as to adding and removing elements, I much prefer a more natural look to the created look for non-commercial photos, but that is likely just me.
