This reminds me of Earth rising on the moon. Did you intend that? 9

The b/w treatment is so right for this photo. It's a favourite as way of continued inspiration.

Fantastic edit. The black and white just makes her face come alive even more.

Joe,
I'm moved that I've touched your life in such a way.
I continue to hold that this is perhaps one of the best images on this site and feel flattered that you put this in your portfolio and honored me with your kind words for what was a mere few mouse clicks on my behalf.

(the inner mat cut is merely two 1-pixel strokes separated by 1-pixel white line)

Great shot/conversion. How do you get that inner 'mat' cut? I think this is better in B&W, but I'm kind of partial to that format any way. Very, very nice photo.

Lots of effort there. I agree that this pulls out better colours in the bird's plumage in general, I think. The beak perhaps has a tad too much gold about it, but then the beak was one of the parts I wasn't too fond of in the original.

Lovely job I reckon. I don't have full photoshop so couldn't reproduce some of the steps, but it's interesting to see what can be done.
