Today's Edit

Here's my latest post-processing adventure. I turned the image below


into this final version with the help of Adobe Photoshop:

Briefly, there were four critical steps:

Step 1: Adjust exposure (in this case, -0.67 in Photoshop)
Step 2: Decrease saturation and vibrance
Step 3: Dodging and Burning in Photoshop
Step 4: Healing brush to remove distracting "reddish" patches in top left and a white streak in center

It was about thirty minutes of work. Look for this picture to appear as a future entry on my photoblog!
