Maybe I'm all wet, but if this is the "show-me" section, it's pretty hard to edit an already heavily edited jpeg. The "show-me" process would be more productive, I think, if RAW files were posted. With this image, the noise reduction, sharpening, and heavy saturation are pretty hard to back out.
However, I think it can be made slightly more interesting by making more of a "tunnel."
Thanks for the suggestion. Actually, the original shot was much like yours edit, and I thought I's add some visual interest by being up shadow detail. :-) I hope others comment on our different approaches.
For the record, this forum is meant for anything, from raw photos needing major editing, to narrow ideas asking specific questions. Enjoy!
