The exposure was an accident, I metered on the wrong spot. :-( BUT, when I saw it on the computer, I just fell in love it and had to work on it. I cropped it and dodged out all of the background distractions first. Then for Ponder, I converted to B&W using the virtual photographer plug-in in photoshop. I can't remember which filter now but it was one with high contrast. I probably dodged and burned alittle after that. Then sharpened by using a mixture of Unsharp Mask and Fade Unsharp Mask. That's about it. :-)
