This was a last minute change up from the photo I originally had posted. There is no way I would have perfected this photo without the advice of some of my DPL teammates...Dirt Diver (joe) especially. This was a photo that I originally thought uneditable but played around with it and found something i like and used the advice of my teammates to perfect it.
The editing steps are a little fuzzy because of when and how I went back to edit it.
