One of my favourite cheats/effects , over-sharpening :).

I set the USM to have a radius of 50 pixels and a strength of 65%. It has the effect of increasing contrast/saturation & sharpening all in one. Just fiddle with the radius/strength until you get a pleasing level :thumbs:

Oooh! Just tried that and me likey!

Really great image, edit improves an already great shot (I love moody shots).
Best one of the series IMO. :clap:

Good tutorial here http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials/local-contrast-enhancement.htm
on this technique.

Great shot indeed. The edit improves it I think...but still a lovely shot to start with.

what she said ^
you can't get a good result without a decent original. looks like that tobacco filter sort of look...great thing about digital to add it later. excellent shot.
