Taxidermy

So I've written about images that I've forgotten about. This image is from the other side of the spectrum... an image I've always remembered, but just never felt I could do the justice it deserved. I decided to take another stab at it with PSCS5, and I quite like the final result here. To be honest, there's not a lot of editing that would warrant me HAVING to wait until PSCS5, but I really feel like the new RAW editor handles things differently and handles a full tonal range much better. Even with JPEGs, which this image is based off of. Once upon a time I never shot in RAW because I was an idiot. Now it's all RAW all the time.

This was taken in February of 2006 on one of those amazing outing with Ryan and Lanette.





I decided to throw this image into PSCS5's HDR Toning filter, and I kind of dig the results. It's like a super powered B&W Red Filter! What do you all think?
