This image is a good example of why even the bad shots are worth saving. As you can see, the original is incredibly overexposed with all the background completely blown out. The two subjects had great expressions and looked great together but I neede to bring out the details in their faces, and do a lot of level adjustment. I repositioned them in an all white frame for what I think resulted in a nice high key effect. I played with color and black and white treatments, finally settling on the sepia version which I think has a "Great Gatsby", F. Scott Fitzgerald-esque look to it.
