 Shot outside set for tungsten to get a blue cast, and removed most of the cast, keeping just a slight cyanish tone over the photo.

Unsharp mask, and curves.

I really like this, but I keep noticing the shadow gets cut off, and it's annoying the crap out of me. I'm hoping most people just look at the photo for a second, and miss it.

Anyway. I just want over a 5. I think this'll be borderline. Although I think it'll be in the 4s. I rarely seem to get out of that range.
