Pictures were taken in Tunis and Sidi Bou Said, Tunisia.

The Rules:
1. Lr Rule 5 - Enjoy
2. The Usual stuff:
All work must be done in either ACR or LR except for cropping, sharpening and using your noise filter. You can make some MINOR changes in PSE/CS3 if you want. If you use a preset, please list the name and a link to the source if you have that information. Also, if you'd like, please describe your workflow. [Or not, but fess up and tell us what you did.]

Sunny, just downloaded them. Will get to them hopefully tonight or tomorrow. Have an emergency with my oldest dog. He is going to have to have his eye removed tomorrow.

Added contrast, vibrance and clarity in ACR,
Then in PSE6, added two brightness/contrast adjustments layers with luminosity mask to add contrast separately on highlights and shadows. Some say that brightness/contrast should be replaced by curves or levels... I think they have never used it properly in recent PSE or CS versions. It's an excellent way to tweak rapidly luminosity masks.
