Shoot and Edit

Okay, I was gone all day yesterday, so just finally edited my picture!  :D

I followed Ashley's instructions, and

1.  Created a duplicate layer, and ran a High Pass filter.

2.  Changed it from "normal" to "soft light".

3.  Ran PW's "Lovely and Ethereal" action.

4.  Erased the action off Michael's face.

So, what do you think of it now?

Here's a before and after:

It's a slight difference, but I think his coat pops more, and his eyes as well.  I like.  :D
