It sorta has the photoshopped look to it, but we must remember to get a grip and breath deep before releasing the shutter...

Leitz Schmeitz, nothing like a M6 and a Fresca bottle for the lens! You should patent it...

The only photoshop thing I did - and this could have been done though maybe not as well - was to burn in the objects in the foreground, ie. the plane of verticals such as the two trees and the lamp post. The idea was to try and create a sense of two planes by "masking out" the screen in these vertical areas, but not mask it out entirely and do it with vertical brush strokes.
