I'm tossing around the idea of getting into retouching on the side (Lower end of course, I'm no professional). I did this edit for a friend and I'd like some feedback on it. What you like about it, what you don't like about it, what you would have done differently, etc. Thanks a bunch!

Jan 20 13 01:16 pm Link I quite like what you did. You had to deal with some highlights and you addition of smoke was cool. Jan 20 13 01:23 pm Link Yeah the smoke was the main idea he wanted. And yes the picture was very bright, luckly he supplied me with a Raw file. A JPEG wouldn't have been any fun.
