Nikon L100 - 4/2/2011 - f-3.7 - 1/94 sec - ISO 80 - 36mm eqv.

This was a really fun photo to take and edit. The shell on the persons head is the housing of an old Johnson outboard motor.

The editing was a little different, and I have thus generated two different versions. I first processed the colors to be more realistic, have better contrast, and fill the entire dynamic range. I then sharpened the picture. After that I was working on multiple layers, with filters built into GIMP. Both versions use the same layers, just in a different mix of modes and opacities.

Please view these at full size and let me know what you think, and which you think is better.
