ACR plus in Elements:
- gradient map adjustment layer in luminosity mode acting as a curve
- vignette
- cloning out light part in the upper left corner
Excellent portrait!

Posted: Thu Nov 20, 2008 8:30 pmBeen too busy around here for a while, back in action.
Love these pics, but didn't figure out the pond until I saw Michels post re upside down.
Used vignetting, then the adjustment brush to throw some light into the face
Used something called Hallowed Black, then a few tweaks.
Neat picture, confused me completely. Used some spot removal tools, then Matts Vividity Level 3 and Camera Calibration Profile Camera Vivid Red Beta 2

Posted: Thu Nov 20, 2008 11:17 pmYes, the pond picture was taken upside down.... 
It was one of those situations where the reflection of the trees and sky in the water looked better than the real trees and sky. A friend made the suggestion that I shoot with the camera upside down, and it worked pretty well. Then, to make things a little interesting, we threw a pebble in the water and added a few ripples. I actually took a short series of shots, with and without ripples. Just experimenting a bit....
