Photoshop Assignment Try #1

This weeks assignment was to edit two shots two different ways.  I haven't gotten a shot of BD yet that I'm in love with, so I'm going to try his pics tomorrow.  I've been really busy with the boudoir shots for Gary's Vday present, and with a TON of homework... bah.


50mm 2.8 1/80 ISO 250

I shoot in raw format, and usually import with the Adobe Bridge presets, but for this assignment I figured it would be best to zero the image out so you can see exactly what the camera captures in raw.... pretty dull (original).
